Course: Philosophy (Metaphysics)
There are a couple of things to take into account for this method. First and foremost, this is only useful for the courses where a professor gives you the essay exam questions beforehand. I know it may sound stupid, but a lot of professors do so. Secondly, you will need to get your hands on an extra exam booklet. Sometimes you’ll find them lying around in a classroom. If not, then when you get one for previous exam, as for an extra booklet “because you need more space.” I showed up to the class and the teacher was pretty laid back. Everybody had study sheets out studying, so I just took out a notebook and looked busy.
Preparation: 10 out of 10
Literally, hours before the test, I received the essay questions for the exam. The teacher gave the essay questions to the class for them to study and bring their A-Game. He actually gave them 5 essay questions to study and they had to choose 3. Therefore, I took the 5 questions and simply wrote down the in-depth answers to all five of the essay questions.
Ease of Read: 10 out of 10
Obviously, there is no ease of read factor here because it is written in regular size and legible. I answered all five questions as I would during a final and I was ready. Plan A was to simply take the booklet the teacher gave me and as he continued to hand them out, I would swap the empty booklet with the full one in my backpack. Plan B was incase he mixed up the questions or the order of them, which is where I would ask for an extra booklet because I had to write a lot, then simply replace one of the empties with the full one I had. From there, I’d have all five answers in front of me and can transfer the information however I wanted. If he asked any questions, I say I made a mistake and scribbled all over the cheat sheet booklet. Regardless of which plan I used, I asked the teacher if there was extra credit if I answered all 5. He said no, but I did it anyway

Stealth: 9 out of 10
The only reason that this wasn’t a perfect stealth score is that you need to make the switch quick and at the right moment. Even if he turns his head right after, you wouldn’t be caught red handed with a cheat sheet or anything, he’d find you with a test booklet that he just handed out. On top of that, you need to look busy, even though your booklet is already filled out. After the first student finishes, politely walk up and hand in your booklet.
Teacher Awareness: 4 out of 10
The teacher was very laid back and made the process as routine as possible. We showed up and sat down, nobody realized I didn’t belong. He then walked around and gave the exam out. Then sat at his desk the remainder of the time.
Final Consensus: A. As easy and useful as this method is, it would be a blessing to have the circumstances fall in your favor as they did for this exam. However, it happens much more than you’d think. Having a teacher give the essay questions AND getting your hands on a test booklet is a pretty crazy combo to fall into you lap. At the same time, we had four classes as potentials to pull this off at. Luckily, the first time it worked like a charm.
Final Grade: TBD
