Context

It is an intense math test and i am thinking about writing formulas in paper bits and hiding it in the shoe sole and pockets as there is no body search .

I have no time to study and i am sleep starved.

If i am caught cheating i will be banned from writing it again for 4 years and will be stuck in a state i hate as it is hell (because if i pass this i am kinda set for life and if i don’t fucked).

Am i fucked ?

    best way to cheat is to commit the information to memory, works best if you also understand said information. It’s undetectable.

    If it’s formulas you are worried about scratch them into something like the bottom of your shoe or a water bottle. Anything you can take into the test. Even if you can’t look at the bottom of your shoe maybe you could feel what the formula is.

    Maybe you could use the inside of your shirt. Kind of stretch it like you have an itch but you have the formulas on the inside?

    Up voting you and wishing you good luck. Would love an update with how it goes.

    How long will it be until you can take it again if you just do poorly today? IMO unless it’s longer than 4 years, take the L today and study up for the next one. It’s too risky. Today might be the day they decide to do a body search. Even then, while you’re in the test, they’ll probably hear and/or see you ruffling your paper.

    Otherwise, best thing I can give you is to start committing formulas you think you’ll need to memory, then at the beginning of the test dump them anywhere you are allowed to write them, so you can focus on problem solving and symbol pushing.

    if i pass this i am kinda set for life and if i don’t fucked

    If you have to take the test one extra time, you should be fine in the long run. It might very well be painful/embarrassing/costly for the next six months, but once you get your score when you’re better prepared, you’ll be fine.

    Good luck with your exam.

    You’re asking about cheating on a test that apparently matters for your career and you wonder why you’re being downvoted?

    IDK what your career is but if you can’t pass the test without cheating then you aren’t ready for that career. If you find a way to cheat and pass I can only hope it’s not something where others lives are at stake.

    (OP originally asked for a way to cheat on an exam citing “personal reasons”)

    Can you use a graphing calculator? I stored formulas and such as a fake program in mine.
