  3. 3
    Slowly and silently slide the piece of paper bit by bit out of your sleeve.
    • Never totally remove the paper from you sleeve. Only pull out enough to reveal the information you need.
    • This method is much easier if you are near the back of the class.

Hat Method

  1. 1
    Write down the test notes and answers on a piece of paper. Place the notes inside your hat.

    • Keep in mind that many schools have rules against nonreligious headwear, and even if it is allowed, it may not be in that particular classroom or for a test. Find out your school's policy on this.

  1. 1
    Wear a layered ruffled skirt to class.
  2. 2
    The night before the test, write down the answers to the test in the layers of your skirt. Note: Be careful what you use to mark your skirt. You want to use something light. And, of course, you don't want to use anything permanent.
    • Write small!
  3. 3
    Look at your notes by pretending to be smoothing out your skirt.
  4. 4
    When you get home after the test, bleach your skirt before it stains.

Method 9 of 17:

Belt Method

  1. 1
    Make sure you have a belt, and cut out a piece of paper slightly shorter than the height and width of the belt, and about 6-10 inches (16-26 centimeters) long.
  2. 2
    Write out all of your notes on the piece of paper (one side only), then attach it to the inside of your belt.
  3. 3
    On the day of the test, make sure you are wearing the belt, and that it is relatively loose.
  4. 4
    When you want to read the notes, simply suck in your stomach, and read from the inside of your belt. This may work better if you tuck in your shirt beforehand, so that it does not seem odd that you are lifting up your shirt.

  4. 4
    Try not to take too long; teachers likely notice who finishes last and especially if the student does surprisingly well given that it took them so long to complete it (for the excuse "I was being careful and taking my time" can only work so many times). They're bound to get suspicious.
