Craziest story I've actually ever heard about cheating

was one of my friends.

He actually tried to cheat on a AP test,

which I didn't do because I'm smarter than that.

His scores got canceled.

So I definitely didn't want that happening to me.

The person I was most afraid of getting yelled at by

if I got caught up was my mom.

Bro, my mom is Nigerian.

She's all about doing everything by the book,

everything the way it's supposed to be.

If I had got caught up cheating,

she would've probably bought me a ticket

straight back to Nigeria, bruh, I swear.

I swear she would've done it without hesitation.

It started in the 12th grade.

I was sorta known as a class clown.

I'd always do good on the tests,

but whenever the teacher were to ask me a question,

I'd never be able to answer it.

My teacher would always suspect me of cheating

due to my high test scores,

but she could never catch me in the act.

For our midterm we took earlier in the year,

she separated me away from the class

due to my distractive behavior, which I guess made sense.

On average, I'd tend to do good on the test,

getting As and Bs due to my wizardry cheating skills,

of course, and a tight-knit relationship

with all the nerdy kids.

On that midterm, however,

I just barely managed to scratch a C-.

And from then on, I'd known her suspicions

of me cheating had probably grown.

She even changed the seating arrangements in the class

to keep an eye on me.

Fast forward a couple weeks, the final test was coming up,

worth over 65% of our grade, I was nervous.

I knew she was probably gonna pull the same trick on me

for the midterm when she separated me away from the class,

so I just planned ahead.

My plan was to go to the review session,

which was held two weeks before the final exam.

I went to the review session with nothing but hope.

I honestly just needed something to save me.

So I pulled up to the session early.

About 15 students were there with the teacher,

all going over the study guide.

The teacher coincidentally had the study guides

in the far back of the room on her desk.

This just so happened to be where she kept the answer keys

with what would be test A and test B,

but at that time, I didn't know that.

So, I tried studying, but after a few hours went by,

I was just about ready to call it quits.

I had to learn a year's worth of math and physics equations

within a few days.

It was pretty much impossible.

Then all of a sudden, boom!

The teacher leaves the class to take a bathroom break

and I was free to do whatever I had to do.

I was already sitting

towards the back of the class near her desk.

I knew I had to act quickly

if I had any chance of acing this test.

So I quickly stood up and started scrambling

through the review guides on top of her desk,

while I was really looking for the answer keys.

I was scrambling and scrambling

and I was nervous that she was gonna come back.

I was looking over my shoulder,

I mean, I was freaking out.

My hands were shaking while I opened up the cabinet

and found the answers to both test A and test B.

I couldn't believe my eyes.

I quickly pulled out my phone

and took pictures of both answer keys.

Each one of them had the answers

to all 55 of the test questions.

I completely ignored the written response questions

'cause they were only worth about 25% of the final grade

and I could honestly get a B or above without it.

I then grabbed the random study guide,

went back to my seat and acted like nothing happened,

and I managed to this all under 30 seconds.

Fast forward a couple weeks

and I already had both answer keys A and B memorized

like my ABCs.

I even made a whole song about it.

A, B,

C, C, C, D

B, B, A,

D, D, (laughs) D, E.

I came to the test straight chillin',

not worrying about what version of the test

she was gonna throw at me.

So I walked into the room,

I had my backpack on, had my earphones in,

I was just cruisin'.

And the minute I walked in, she was just looking at me,

and I already knew she was gonna try

to put me somewhere else or try to do something

to mess up my day.

And to my surprise, she had me seated separately

from the rest of the students

just like she did on the midterm.

So I walked in, you know,

no questions asked, went to my seat,

did what I had to do.

I got my test and it was test A.

I said, okay, right,

started taking the test.

30 minutes, 20 minutes, I was done.

I ended up getting a B+

and there was so trace of suspicion whatsoever.

I felt like a (beep) G. (laughs)

And at the end of the semester,

I ended up finishing off with a 98% in the class.

I never really felt guilty about cheating

because at the end of the day,

it comes down to this,

you gotta work smarter, not harder.

If my kid ever got caught cheating,

I'd be very disappointed.

I'd be disappointed because, I'd be like,

"I've never got caught cheating.

"How could you have come outta me and get caught cheating?"

In terms of getting into college,

transfer papers and all that, it actually helped me a lot

because AP Physics is low key one of the hardest courses

to go through in high school.

So I had gotten into UCLA,

I had gotten into UC Santa Barbara.

So now I'm in college and I've unfortunately decided

to retire my cheating ways.

Yeah, I could get (beep) up for life

if I ever get caught cheating in class.

I really didn't end up telling anybody at school

besides my close friends because this is information

that you wanna keep concealed.

At the end of the day,

you have to graduate high school first

before you can move on.

If you go out there, bragging about this stuff

and it gets caught up in administration

or with the teachers or whatever, you're (beep).

And I recommend all you guys, future cheaters,

if you decide to do this, do that as well.

I am actually a little nervous

about talking about this subject right now.

My teacher that was in high school,

she watches a lotta YouTube.

So I wouldn't be surprised

if she came across this video right now.

So I actually am a little nervous.

She was right, I was cheating. (laughs)

If you're watching this right now,

I would just wanna say that I am not sorry.

I had to do what I had to do, okay?

So, can't do anything about it now.
