Students: Post your cheating techniques here!

Ms.shells SG

do american-drug-smuggling style. stuff notes in your butt then go toilet try crap it out

iiiihh.. so gross!! >_<

well, there are legalised "cheating" methods in maths by using calculators

Example for O and A levels, Binomial Expansion and partial fractions, you can always sub in some values of X to confirm LHS = RHS

or for differentiation at As, you can also use the graphic calculator to prove your answer numerically

;)

erm

it's been more than a decade since my A levels, but i'm pretty sure the LHS=RHS proving questions aren't asking you if the equation is correct.

Rather, you're supposed to prove WHY it's correct. Substituting values to prove it should get you a zero.

Ditto for differentiation.

I don't think u can cheat for proving questions. Know means know, dunno means dunno. But for other questions, just die die memorize the formulas or infos and write it down on the exam paper immediately upon recieving it, like that dunnid scared forget liao. There's a limit tho.

err

I forgot to say... it is for checking purposes... and it can weed out careless mistakes in such proving questions in seconds, hence speeding up your checking of careless mistakes after you finish your paper

sry for not making it clear enough

It's a tactic I teach to many.

that's why for certain topics, it's better to know the concepts to deriving the equations.

it doesn't take more than a minute to derive those equations... and if try to recall.... might take half a minute to a minute anyway... so might as well... ;)
