I decided to compile this list discussing techniques used to cheat during exams by Nigerian Students.
1. Mobile Phones
Even mobile phones are not allowed into the examination hall. Some students still smuggle theirs into the hall while somebody outside who has the answer to question sends it to them.

2. Math set and four figure table
Since bringing math set and four figure table to the examination hall is legal students normally scribble answers onto these equipments.

3. Exchange of question paper
This is something which has been going on since way back when. A student who has the answer writes them in his question paper and exchanges it with another student who doesn't know.

4. Smart devices
With the introduction of smart watches, programmable calculators etc students now use smart watches to store copies of their notes probably as images or as texts.
This kind of "expo" goes undetected because most invigilators are not tech-savvy.

5. Bribing the exam invigilator
This is something which happens all over the world and not only in Nigeria. Students who are financially capable pay some greedy invigilators money to allow them cheat in their exams.

6. Writing on body parts
This is normally practiced among the ladies who write "dubs" on their thighs.

7. Writing on clothing
Students write on their clothing: handkerchief, socks etc and sneak it into the exam hall.

8. Writing on footwear
Exams where slippers are allowed students write on the inside of their slippers and sneak it into the examination hall.

9. Use of finger codes
Sometime before the exams begin students would already have agreed on what answer each finger means. This is normally only used during an objective exam.

10. Bubble Gum
This technique requires the student buy a pack of bubble "chewing" gum unwrap the original contents, then write answers on the paper used to wrap the gum. They then wrap everything back so the invigilator would think that its just bubble gum and take it into the examination hall.

Obviously, theirs more ways than the one listed here you can add to the list using the comments section.

The purpose of school has been greatly defeated.. Especially in this country

Op, what about people who write 'expos' even on the ceiling fan.

Some write on desks.

•Little pieces of paper called "Micro-tintin"

•Deliberate lifting of handouts and study materials into the hall.

•Sitting arrangements to teach one another called "Formation"

I could go on..

yet they will never take first position in class

h

some uses the power of abracadabra.....before you know it the invigilator done enter dreamland...

and after all dis tin... sum fail with prestige

Thank God my own method is not der....see una later

old school tactics

Because there's more focus on good grades and owning a certificate. No one cares bou having the knowledge.

there are more to Dis oh....

ok

This is what I call ORGANIZED CRIME. What is education without any hope for the future anyway? we lay much emphasis on grades than contents, what do you expect the students to do? Of course acquire good grades, fair or foul to impress. Our education system needs urgent help, to rot in the system oozes to high heavens!

No offense, but these methods are mostly used by public university students( am sorry). I mean why would you wear a slippers to write an exam and chewing of gum shows an uncultured person. Am sorry once again

Isn't it easier to pass by just studying hard?

Some ladies put on hijab in order to bring in cheat material.

But what will it profit a Nigerian student if after cheating through his examinations in school, he graduates to find out that there is no 'good' job waiting for him or her?

So therefore cheat responsibly.

guilty of number 2,3 and 9

time make person go take do all dis ur don use am read now

OP u forget to say dis.. some even uses calculator. dy write at d back of it wit pencil..... d invigilator can neva c it evn if given to........

I think I like what I saw in that "boobstop"..... I think I encourage such expo...
lols...

The one on the breast, how can she do. That confortably in mixed enviroment.

No Federal University will allow wearing of slippers on it's facility

What is your business with this.

Op you forgot landmines(i.e writing their expo on the desk they will sit on before the exam)

Okay, how about this. Look for a plain A4 paper. Look for a pen that is no more working. Use the bad pen to trace your expo on the paper. When the invigilator is seeing an empty sheet, you are seeing your class note.

OP is still a learner. Dis method are old school.

1. My school ID card was a very sure location to hide my micro chips. the ID card was inserted into a transparent ID card holder. behind the ID card, the part that has all dis long grammar about lost of ID and so on. you cut a clean blank paper not more than the size of the ID card. write all your chips as small as possible. insert the paper gently behind the ID holder, then you are good to go. Note never allow ur ID card fly or flip over. hence you are busted.

2. Exam card. same as ID card.

3. On the day of your first paper you will request for an extra sheet. gently keep it safe and use it to import your chips for next exam. the way and manner you import the chip is entirely your business. just don't get cauth. this method needs you to be very smart and confident as any lousy moment may bring you out. don't write your chip as micro. you. write it as per normal exam standard.


good luck and play safe
