How to Make a Cheat Pen
Cheat Pen with Transparent Cheat Sheet
This technique mainly consists of creating a transparent cheat sheet and attaching it to your pen for copying in an exam. First, you need to make your cheat sheet—a classic cheat sheet, front and back. You will need a laser printer, so you must create the cheat sheets for your exam using a program. You can use Word or any text editor. We’ve thought of you and have prepared a program for cheat sheets: CheatCheetEditor.com. The best part of CheatCheetEditor.com is that you don’t need to download anything.
You will also need:
- Hot water
- A bowl
- Wide tape
- Scissors ✂️
- A pen 🖋
Steps to make your cheat pen:
-
Edit your cheat sheet, we recommend using CheatCheetEditor.com.
-
Once your cheat sheet is ready, print it using a laser printer.
It must be a laser printer! Essential!
-
Now completely cover the cheat sheet with tape and cut it out.
-
Heat water on your kitchen stove or kettle and pour it into a bowl.
-
Submerge the cheat sheet in the water for 10 minutes.
-
Take the cheat sheet out of the water and peel off the paper. You may need to scrape a little. You’ll see how the ink from the cheat sheet has stuck to the tape. Incredible!
-
At this point, you’ll have a strip of tape that still retains its adhesive properties, with the text of your exam on it—a transparent sticker cheat sheet.
At this point, you have a transparent cheat sheet.
-
Stick the transparent cheat sheet onto your pen, and you now have a cheat pen.
You should find a flat pen without any text on it, or you can find a pen where you can remove the label and replace it with your transparent cheat sheet. Remember that this technique is not limited to pens—you can also stick the transparent cheat sheet onto a folder or book, disguising it as a label. This technique can be very useful if you stick it onto a typical exam accessory like Tipp-Ex.
Here’s a video showing the steps for this technique. Try it out, it looks amazing. Possibly the best cheat sheet for an exam.
BIC Cheat Pen
This exam cheat consists of scratching a BIC pen—it’s as simple as that. It takes some time, but it’s worth it because it’s a very secure cheat method. Teachers will never see the text written on it.
BIC Cheat Pen
It may not be the best cheat for history exams (although we’ve seen everything), but it’s a great way to cheat in a math exam since you can write down formulas or corollaries (if you don’t know what this word means, you’re too lucky) that are impossible to remember.
To scratch the pen, you can use several techniques:
- Use a punch tool
- Use the tip of a mechanical pencil
-
Make a small punch tool using another BIC pen and a needle. Simply use a lighter to slightly melt the tip of the BIC pen, and when it’s soft, insert the needle into the melted plastic.
Scratching a BIC pen with a compass tip or punch tool.

Remember that to make a BIC Cheat Pen, you don’t necessarily need a BIC-brand pen—you can use any manufacturer. However, it’s commonly known as a BIC Cheat Pen because BIC is a very popular brand.
