As students across the country prepare to face exam season, internet searches for the best cheating strategies are undoubtedly due to spike.
But before people get too excited, it's worth remembering the penalties for deception are simply not worth the risk. The best advice remains: don't do it.
Yet the question "What are some particularly creative ways that students cheat?", posed on Quora last year, has recently elicited some replies which cast light on a whole hidden world of trickery...
