friend sat behind one student and would tap him on the back if he needed an answer. His friend would tap the side of his head to give him the multiple choice answers. 1 tap was A, 2 taps B, etc… In return, if he needed an answer, he’d hold the pen to his head and his friend would give him the answer by tapping him on the back. They never got caught.

She’d write down the answers on a piece of paper and show him.
