Eh, for any math/science course (or any class that has heavy math) a TI-whatever is all you need to cheat.

(Hint: "Program" key + "Alpha lock" and you're good to go.)

I mean, it's not like I've done it or anything. Yeah.

At my school, you can only use TI-NSpire Calculators on tests if is a school calculator.

Ah, youngsters and their high school rules .

I forget everyone here isn't a college student >.>.

>Get good grades through cheating >Get better tuition prices But he's right in that it doesn't matter a whole lot to cheat on shit you'll never use. High school really just filters out people who don't know how to work, whereas college will actually prep you for your job.

Unless you're going to be any engineer of any kind, cuz they use the hell out of algebra. Even as a Civil Engineer I use basic algebra everyday. So it really depends on what your future career will be that determines if you'll really need what you learn in high school.

True.

However, it's my personal belief that the math required to be taught to High schoolers is pretty ridiculous. Let me ask you something...why are personal finance classes considered electives and aren't required while Geometry and Algebra II are required to be taken by everybody? Personal finance IS something that is needed by EVERYONE. Geometry and Algebra will be forever irrelevant unless you go into certain fields.

That's just my belief.

So I would never feel bad if I cheated on a math test.

[Zepher Tensho]

I agree there. Hell even my algebra teacher in senior year said "I don't get why they make us teach you guys this, back when I was in school algebra was college level material studied by engineers and archetects."

And yes personal finance is more important than something you may not ever use.

The calculator method is good if u dont know some science or math equations. However, when i did use this method, I actually learned the equations while writing them down. It is Kinda frustrating in a way.

Another quick story:
My AP psych teacher is ancient and always uses the same handouts. These handouts includes tests, quizes, readings, and articles. One day when i came into class i was surprised to hear we had a test that day. I was really really scared; I didnt study at all.
I got my copy of the test and a miracle occurred. The person who took the test previously had accidentally circled the answers on the test instead of the scantron. realizing his/her mistake, he/she furiously erased the circle. fortunately the circles were just visible enough for me to see and for my teacher to be incapable of seeing. ACED that test.

accidental cheating XD

See, the right thing to do would be to tell the professor.

But **** that.

[Rujio]

It's a good thing you didn't get a stupid person's test. Because someone who took the test the wrong way easily could have been a stupid person.

[Fire Blazer]

The right thing to do is whatever the majority of people think should be done. That's how "a" thing to do becomes "THE" thing to do. meh idk where I'm going with this at all

[Ristau]

Although that is true, Cheating is taboo for a reason. It wouldn't be called cheating if it was socially acceptable.
