How to cheat in Exam Method - 5

Try cramming information last minute. By spending the few minutes before an exam skimming over your notes or studying, you have a shot at being able to do well without cheating.

1. For essays, try to remember key words. Usually professors or teachers have "key words" that they are looking for in an essay. This means that the actual "fluff" of the essay is less important. If you know the topic or possible topics of an essay question, cram four to five terms you know your professor will be looking for. Instead of having to study everything, you can succeed with less effort.
2. For math exams, try to memorize formulas. Knowing a formula can be more powerful that spending hours doing practice problems. If you can write down a formula enough to memorize it, then you can spend the test trying to apply those to the problems.
3. For multiple choice exams, try "chunking" information you know will be on the test. Instead of memorizing a list of words, try breaking it into easier to remember smaller lists. For example, if I am studying for a history test, instead of remembering "Jefferson, Hamilton, Franklin, Washington, Grant, Lincoln, and Lee" break it up into the "4 of the founding fathers: Franklin, Washington, Jefferson and Hamilton" and the "3 civil war leaders: Lee, Lincoln, Grant." By memorizing the number of men to a specific topic, it'll be easier to narrow down who you are missing.
