The more fascinating, The Better…
anneh,
Do you have a test coming up? 
-Steam off the paper label on a water bottle. Dry label and record useful facts on the back. Glue label back on bottle. Water acts as a magnifier!
-Text message questions to a friend outside with the textbook ready.

ha…the first is really fantastic
I NEVER THOUGHT OF IT
I used to write answers in my dictionary. When I didn’t know the answer I’d look it up. Chapter 1 was in the A section…
you can bring dictionary during tests ?
kind of weird~~ 
You can do that, when sitting for examinations in foreign languages in Denmark, but they will often browse thru it to see if there are any notes and the like.
Well for an English exam you can. Writing essays.
You were allowed to take a dictionary into an English exam? 
That’s frikkin hilarious.
The fine art of using a dictionary properly is as important as knowing lots of English words, if not more so.
Therefore, there are no reasons not to let people take a decent pre-approved dictionary in to an English exam. After all, people fail on lack of dilligence during the semester before the exam. If they have an Oxford ALD with them during the exam it will not do much anyways, especially when everybody have one.
After all, it’s what you do with the skills you learned while preparing for the exam that’s important in the life after the exam - and if you need to use a dictionary while using your English, no rule is going to stop you from doing that.
We never got to have dictionaries during school exams for any languages – vocab knowledge was part of the exam. We weren’t even allowed to use those new-fangled pocket calculators for maths and science, although we did get to have logarithm tables and slide rules.
Fine art! Bwaaahahahahaha.
The ‘A’ words are in the ‘A’ section, which is followed by all the words beginning with the letter B, the B section… COME ON! Where’s the ‘fine art of using a dicitonary properly’? Please tell me.
Use it properly takes more than just flipping thru it.
For instance, my favorite dictionary, the Oxford ALD, has tonnes of grammar stuff etc in it, if you know how to use it.
some teacher would expect us to supply our own writing paper/“blue books” for an exam: simply press down hard using a blunt instrument aqnd you can leave an impression that is readable to you but no one else.
before the teacher comes into class on test day: write the answers/forumlas/pertient facts on the chalk board. then erase only the letters, don’t erase with broad swipes but rather surgically erase. if you don’t look for it you’ll never notice it.
i am very light skinned. when necessary, i could "scratch"formulas on the inside of my forearm. the scratch quickly turned to a legible white against the reddened backdrop of skin. lasts for about ten minutes. all evidence fades shortly soon after.
write pertinent facts on your desktop lightly with a pencil. easily smudged away.
my taiwanese students often tried flashing finger signals to each other. easy: 1 finger= A, 2 fingers=B…
If the answers to an multiple choice test leaked, we would shave off a side of a wooden #2 pencil and write the answers on the side.
Most important ones:
electronic dictionaries and other hi-tech aids (like their telephones)
copying from a smart friend
cheat-sheet based solutions (including desktops)
for essays handed in–plagiarism from the internet
Solutions:
Multiple exam versions
Test questions that focus on written answers rather than multiple choice (though multiple choice is still nice for finding out who’s cheating)
Take-home essays that ask questions the internet can’t answer
Didn’t I read about a scheme a year or two ago where kids taking a multiple choice test in Taiwan had it worked out that a cough meant A, B, C or D depending on what number the second hand of the clock was on?
I had one student (about 13 years old) who seemed to have much more flair for drama than the others who were doing their semester-end oral presentations in English class some years back…turned out that his sudden desire to use arm gestures stemmed from the fact that he had the entire script written on his left arm, and I mean from the shoulder down to the wrist. I have no idea how he ever imagined I wouldn’t see it…
