This is because their is a lot of pressure for you to perform well, join a reputable university, and take a good course that is marketable. 

In fighting to obtain good grades, not all students relied on studying hard as others used cheating techniques to pass the exam. 

The following techniques worked effectively:

1. Exchange of seats: some students could collaborate and exchange seats during an examination. One would leave the exam room for the toilet while the other could occupy the empty seat and copy the exam. 

2. Writing short notes on the thigh: this was common in girls schools. Teachers found it hard to frisk students in this area since it would be considered an act of sexual assault.

3. Laptop method: it involved opening a reference book from inside the locker. One would open his locker then close it back quickly after confirming an answer.

4. Use of flash books: some students wrote short tiny notes on the slim plain papers, then fold them into micro booklets. It was difficult for teachers to spot these booklets.

5. FBI talk: some students used this method to communicate answers without facing each other, just as some FBI agents do when they converse while in the public.
