    One of the latest most popular methods of cheating in exams is with usage of a bluetooth spy earpiece and an inductive transmitter. This involves wearing a tiny micro earpiece that sits hidden inside the ear-channel. This will wirelessly connect to an inductive transmitter which is hidden on your person somewhere, usually a neckloop to be worn under the clothes or even a bluetooth pen or stylish glasses! The inductive transmitter will in turn connect to a mobile phone or MP3 player in your pocket.

Article SummaryX

While cheating on a test is never a good idea, if you need to, do it discreetly by keeping your phone hidden. Before the test, use your phone to take a picture of your notes, then hide your phone in a pencil case or between your thighs during the test. Whenever you need to look at your notes, pretend to stretch your neck downwards to get a quick glimpse before anyone notices. Make sure to put your phone on silent and disable vibrations so you don’t get caught. For tests where you can use a calculator, either write down your notes and hide them in the case or use the text feature on your calculator to write them into a program ahead of time. To learn more, like how to use an mp3 player to listen to your notes, read on.
