Yes, I did cheat but didn't get caught. In a 9th grade typing class our final exam was basically to transcribe a ton of material onto the computer. Nearing the end of the allotted time, I realized I wasn't going to finish, my fingers couldn't go any faster. I knew the password of the fastest typer in the class, logged into his folder, and copied a few of the documents I hadn't gotten to yet. Am I badass or what.

I cheated on my MCATs and most every test in med school, especially the medical boards. It took a great deal of time to devise ways of cheating, but it was worth it not to have to try to learn all that boring crap. I preferred to just sit around and get high.
And look where it got me! Today I'm your doctor, Hermann.
Don't worry about my expertise though. Wikipedia is surprisingly thorough about these kinds of things.
12th grade English.
We had a spelling test (strange?) and I didn't study. I was using a pen with a clear casing. So, I wrote the words down and placed the paper inside the pen casing so I could see it.
No one else noticed, so when I came across a word I didn't know I would hold my pen sideways and look at it for the answer.
The only hard part about it was I had to write so small to get everything on the paper inside the pen, so it was hard to see.
No, but I was accused of cheating in a college calculus class.
Lame.
Once during a rectal exam I absolutely let a greasy shit fly right as the doctor was starting to reach up there.
I never felt any pain except for the gut strained form laughter.
I was great at English but horrible at Spanish so I used to talk back to my high school Spanish teacher and get sent out into the hall right before vocab quizzes and some tests. The teacher would send someone out in the hallway to give me my quiz/test. I'd pull the vocab list or study guide out of my back pocket and complete the test. Usually I'd purposely try to only get an 85-95% on the quiz or test. Thought that would help her from suspecting anything but she was so dumb I should have just aced all of them.
Gracias Senora Walters!!!
Oh, we also used to have an Earth Science teacher who would put the answers to quizzes and tests on the chalkboard and then pull down a map of the United States to cover them. A bunch of us would come back early from lunch, before the teacher, pull the map up and copy the answers in small handwriting on our desks in the back of the room.
I once aced a finance exam in college. The professor accused me of cheating even though he had no proof. The fact is I really did ace it, no cheating involved. He was suspicious until I got in the high 90's on the rest of the tests in his class.
I was an accounting major well into my my accounting degree when I took this basic finance class. The class was a joke for me, yet he didn't believe I could ace one of his lame tests.
Hell yeah. I've done everything. looked at the person's paper next to me. asked my buddy sitting behind me. make a cheat sheet you pull out of your pocket. if you thing the teacher is looking put it in your mouth like gum and chew up the evidence.
I myself was considered the "pioneer" of the pen method at my school. That worked pretty well.
My best endeavor, however, was in 9th grade Social Studies on the final. We were given a world map, and had to identify random countries, cities, capitals, mountains, rivers, lakes, etc. on the map. Somehow one of my buddies who took the test the day before me got a hold of the test, so I got all the answers from him. I tore off a piece of my lunch bag, fed it through my printer, and printed the letter of the multiple choice answer in very small font on the paper bag. Then I taped the answer key printed on the piece of paper bag onto my lunch sack, and just conveniently left my lunch sack right next to my desk.
The day of the exam, my teacher said that word had gotten out that someone had stolen the test. She didn't have time to make a new exam, so she just patrolled for the entire two hours of the class. I was sweating bullets the entire time, but I got the job done, getting something like 95% (have to miss at least a couple so you're not suspicious with a 100%). This saved my grade in the class, raising it from a 77 to a 80.
No and no...sad to say I bombed Statistics and Accounting during my night school years. Not that I would have known HOW to cheat on those courses. LOL.
of course. how do you think I got through Yale?
I have not.

I enjoyed that in a sort of strange way.
In high school, yes all the time. In college no-Im too worried about the consequences. I did so much in high school its tough to remember them all. Freshman Biology we stole the final from the teacher's filing cabinet (they were numbered and he still didnt realized it). Qualitative Analaysis-for our final we had to spend a month finding unknowns and we got the paper that said what our solutions contained. A big one at my school was programming everything possible into our calculators for Calculus exams. AP exams we always opened the essay section during the multiple choice so we could discuss during break. My biggest parter in crime gained a huge rep for cheating but somehow I escaped that rep. Do I regret it? Especially because I still knew the material front and back without cheating.
Still have a 3.9 in college though without cheating
I cheated to win a contest.
I cheated off a girl I thought was smart on an economics quiz, while she was double checking her work I got up and turned my test in....I made 56. This was at the beginning of the semester and while I was in line to drop the class that girl came up to me and asked if I cheated off her because the professor accused her of cheating off me.
Physics 12 was my last exam in high school. The two days before I took Math 12, Calculus 12, and Chemistry 12. I was a solid B + student in Physics 12, but by the time I sat down for the final, I was burnt out.
The final was divided into two sections - written and multiple choice. I tackled the written first, but by the time I got a couple of answers into the multiple choice section, I was fried. As I was looking around thinking what the heck was I going to do, I noticed that I could very clearly see the answers of the brainiac sitting in front of me. It didn't take me long to start copying his answers onto my sheet.
I left the exam confident that I had managed to rock the exam and should have no problem getting an A in the course.
A couple of weeks later I got the report card in the mail. C+. WTF? As the final was worth 40% of the final grade, I must have flunked the final. But how? I was copying answers off of the smartest guy in the school. I marched down the school to complain. As I entered the classroom, I ran into the guy I was cheating off of. When I asked him what the heck he was doing there, he said that he had received a failing grade on his final exam and had come in to dispute the mark.
As it turns out, he put the answer for 15 in the box for 16, the answer for 16 in the box for 17, and so on.
Being the genius that I am, I did the exact same thing.
He got to rewrite the written component and I got the C+.
Just changed 2 answers on my law school exam tonight because of the person next to me. Best move I ever made.
All the time, but only got caught once, and more implicated than caught. Wouldn't do it in college. In high school, in my Stats class we'd get a test from the class section that took it before us. We'd either have our token smart Asian friend do it or find the answer online through looking at old AP Stats test, and they would make a big packet with the open response answers. Another kid would steal the multiple choice from our teacher's office. We finally got caught at the end of the year. Not sure how it got through, 15/18 kids in my class got 0's on the final. Ironically, the teacher had different tests for both sections and none of our answers were correct. Every one took the test legitimately and I got an 89. Ended out getting a C instead of an A(woulda been a B+ if I'd been legit the whole time) for the semester, and I had to fess up to my parents. Got a 5 on the AP as well. In Chem, the year before I cheated all year just by looking at my friends paper. On the final they unexpectedly randomly seated us and I got a 48. Teacher was nice, and gave me a B-.
