Course: Statistics

*Note: This method requires use of a graphing calculator. Therefore, if you are going to try to use it in an English class or Philosophy class or any class that requires no math, you are an idiot.*

As asked, I show up for this statistics final and the teacher distributes the exams. As much as I was scared shitless that I didn’t belong there, nobody else seemed to notice.

Preparation: 9 out of 10

I met up with one of the students prior to the exam and took what was on the review sheet. Preparation for this method was so easy. You take a pencil (preferably a # 2 pencil); you take the cover of your calculator, and on the inside of your cover you write down whatever you think you’ll need. There is a decent amount of space on the inside of the calculator cover, which made it easy to fit what was needed.

Ease of Read: 8 out of 10

The lead writing was pretty easy to read. What I did here was I kept the cover on the back of the calculator and whenever I needed to read a formula, I would slide the cover up to read and then slide the cover back down. My only complaint here would be that the lead blends in so well that I had to squint and hold the calculator up close a couple of times.

Stealth: 9 out of 10

The lead writing on the black surface of the calculator will only be visible up close; whereas, a professor looking over your shoulder may even be oblivious. I nearly shit all over my desk when the professor walked right by me, but he just carried on and didn’t notice thing.

Teacher Awareness: 7 out of 10

As a whole, the professor was pretty alert. From time to time, he would patrol the room, while also overseeing us from a podium in the front of all of our desks.

Final Consensus: A-. It was quick and easy to prepare, pretty easy to read, and as subtle as can be. If the teacher got suspicious, I would have smeared the lead with my fingers or erased it to destroy the evidence.

Final Grade: TBD
