...cheat on a test in school? Why and how? I did. I am not proud of any of it, but it happened and I live with it. It was an English final. My teacher gave us a take away test. Before class me and two other students I got along pretty well with got together, right outside the door, and compared our answers. We corrected each other to our mutual satisfaction and all was ok. Looking back, I don't remember why I didn't finish the test on my own, may be to many other classes to worry about, idk, but it wasn't too hard and I could have done it if I had gotten around to it.
