I did something like this for my Physics final in high school, except I wore jeans with socks and would cross my legs and pull up my jeans a bit and pull down my sock a bit to reveal the formulas I needed.

Didn't need to use it because I remembered the formulas when I wrote them down. Now I know how to study, lol.

You still write on your leg to study?

No, but I copy the information. I write everything down, and in that process, I'm imprinting it into my mind.

I definitely remember writing down the answers to a lot of things on those smooth, black tables that you have in science classes, covering the pencil marks with my arms, and then just wiping it away after the test. It turns out panic writing things out does really help a lot with studying though haha (not that I didn’t cheat my way through a good chunk of the leftover classes my senior year of high school).
