Am I going to get caught cheating?
I excel at writing essays when I’m not under pressure. However, during tests, I tend to stress out and my writing suffers. We’re allowed to bring a small cheat sheet, so my plan is to write my entire essay on the back of it and refer to it during the test.

It’s understandable to feel stressed during tests, especially when the pressure is high. Using a cheat sheet can be risky, even if you believe your writing is original and you’re just recalling what you know. Teachers and proctors may notice the way you’re using your cheat sheet or if it doesn’t appear to match your usual writing style.

You might benefit from practicing timed writing exercises or developing a review plan to help reinforce your understanding of the material ahead of the test. This way, you’ll feel more prepared and confident, reducing the temptation to cheat. Remember, showcasing your true abilities is ultimately the best way to succeed!
