The IV-7 Art Of Cheating

Ringggg!!!! Uh, oh... the warning bell. Just two seconds ago you found out that a quiz would be given. What would you do? Go to the clinic? Nope, nope. Too obvious. So why not do it the IV-7 way?

Cheating... group or individual, we're good at that. And since we're also such nice people, we'll share our talents with you. Just don't tell on us, OK?

  • The easiest one: run to the nearest classroom and summon up your friends from that section. Ask them the answers to the test.

  • "Peek Pocket" -- One of the best things about being a Miriam student is being blessed with breast pockets. You just have to be smart enough to put it in good use. Like, writing notes on a post-it, sticking it inside the pocket facing you and viola! A geniune cheat sheet. Casually glance at it during the test.

  • "Scientific Cheating Calculator" -- Don't you just hate memorizing gazillion formulas? Well, we can make it easier for you. Follow the steps for the Peek Pocket method, but instead of putting it on your breast pocket, insert the precious cheat sheet inside your calculator's pocket.

  • "Palmistry" -- If you don't mind getting your palm all messed up, this method's for you. Simply copy the importants notes and formulas on your palm. Be sure to use a ball pen and not those expensive tech pens to prevent smudging.

  • Does your teacher usually asks you to bring out a size one paper before each test? If he/she does, good for you! Write whatever it is you need to right using a pencil on the size one before the teacher enters the classroom. You can easily erase them when it's time to pass the paper.

  • We usually pass time doodling on our desks during boring lectures. Didn't you know how much precious time you're wasting? You'd be more productive if you'll just take down notes instead of doodling senseless stuff. You're vandalizing na nga... di mo pa gawing useful. What we're trying to say is: use your damned desk as a cheat sheet!

  • At the start of the year, some of our teachers usually require us to have a plastic envelope. The hassle of stopping by National Bookstore just pisses us off. But hey, the teachers won't be the only ones benefiting from it. Just  put the important hand-outs to be covered on the test inside the plastic envelope and place it infront of you. Easy, huh?

  • "Basic" -- typical cheating method. Just glance at your seatmate's paper.

  • "Group Work" -- similar to the basic method, except it's done in groups.

  • "Domino Effect" --  group work with a more complex structure. Needs total cooperation from the class. Please refer to the diagram..

  • Suppose student A has the answer. What she will do is to show student D her paper. Student G then copies from student D... and so on and so forth.  

So... still worried? Well, hope you somehow learned something. But before doing anything, keep in mind a very important detail when cheating: Never, ever get yourself caught!
