Over the years, Marie has tested countless cheating methods and knows exactly which approaches work - and which are long outdated.

The pen-and-stick cheat sheet has been the ultimate classic cheating method for years. But while everyone is still searching for the perfect pen-and-stick cheat sheet , modern technology has long since overtaken this method. Time for a reality check!

The cheat sheet hype - what everyone is buying (and why that's a mistake)

Instructions for making your own cheat sheet pen are circulating all over the internet. The DIY trend is booming, and it seems like every other student is crafting their own pen with a cheat sheet . At the same time, there's a real frenzy surrounding ready-made solutions.

The shopping reality at Spicker Pens

The Aldi cheat sheet pen is usually sold out within hours – whether it's Aldi Nord or Aldi Süd . The Lidl and Tedi cheat sheets pens are often only available as promotional items. Müller has a limited selection, and the Rex cheat sheet pen on Amazon often costs three times its value. The result? Frustration and overpriced solutions for an outdated concept.

Even newer approaches like the digital cheat pen are usually complicated to use and conspicuous due to their operation. You can find more about modern approaches in our guide to cheating methods for university and high school graduation exams . The fundamental problem remains: you have to actively manipulate the device to access the information.

Why every pen cheat sheet has the same problem

Whether you make your own cheat sheet or buy the most expensive Aldi cheat sheet - they all have the same fundamental weaknesses:

The unsolvable problems of classic cheat sheets

  • Conspicuous movements: Every attentive examiner notices the pulling out and twisting of the slips of paper.
  • Stress factor: Under exam pressure, mechanisms can jam or handwriting can become illegible.
  • Limited information: Only tiny amounts of text fit on the small slips of paper.
  • Quality problems: Cheap pens break, expensive ones aren't worth the money.

The frustrating result: You invest time and money in a method that often fails in critical moments. While you're still wondering whether that next cheat sheet pen from Amazon is finally the right one, a much better solution already exists.
