William Contro Contro 1GilmartinCollege Writing 213 October 2003Successful Cheating on TestsThroughout my years in high school, I was involved in every sport as well as various clubs. A combination of these activities, and a good social life, made it difficult to find time for my school work. This caused me to resort to cheating which was unavoidable and even necessary in order to get the grades I wanted.

This works well if you have a male teacher as they are less likely to be looking at a female with a short skirt and if you they do look it could be categorized as sexual harassment. Guys can also use this idea by writing on their ankle where the sock can cover it. What you want to do is sit cross-legged so that your foot is almost in your lap. Then simply pull down your sock every time you...
