Problem: Article: It is very common for two friends/best friends to fall in love or fancy each other after being friends for quite a long time. Knowing what your crush's hobbies, interests and turn-offs are will boost your chances of becoming their partner.  Try talking to them as a friend first. If you approach the person as a crush, they will only see you as someone who likes them. This could potentially be problematic if they don't like you because they will be less likely to want to get to know you. Become friends first, and then later try to pursue them. Make sure they feel comfortable around you, through communication. Get to know them and let them know you (what you like, what you don't like....etc.) This determines whether you are compatible or not. Hang out with the crush. Not one-on-one yet, but maybe ask your crush and one or two other friends to go to the park or come over to play video games or something. This way, you can see and interact with each other in a more natural environment.  Do activities together. The more you interact, the more they'll think of you. It's a no-brainer! Eventually, you could ask the crush if they wanted to do something casual with you one-on-one. Maybe it's a sport or a movie. Figure out what interests the crush and ease into the suggestion. Apart from having an unhappy or forced relationship, pushing things too fast could also ruin the bond you've already created, which could lead to losing them as a friend as well. Be patient!  Clinging is one of the things people dislike most in a relationship. Give your crush their space, and let any relationship unfold at a natural pace. Do not stalk the person. Not only is this inappropriate, but it can be illegal – and it doesn't work. Do not flirt uncontrollably with the crush. Do not make sure you hear everything about this person, either. Don't try to be around the crush constantly. If they ever did like you, this will put them off. Hang out together, have fun and talk. If it's meant to be, it'll happen. If not, there are plenty of other fish in the sea. Don't try to make your crush love you. Love is not a game. They say the best relationships consist of the best of friends! Get to know your crush, and they'll get to know you. More importantly, let the crush know they can trust you and turn to you.  Help the person out whenever your crush needs help or support and be there for the crush at the right time. Be attentive to their wants and needs. If your crush forgets lunch one day and you can afford to get them a snack or share your lunch, they'll greatly appreciate your kindness and compassion. Make them a priority, and be there when they really need it. Be the kind of person they can rely on because you do what you say you will do. Be affirmative. Make your crush feel good about themself. Get interested in things they are interested in. Say, for instance, your crush loves everything about sports. Watch some more sports games so if they start talking about sports with your friends, you'll actually know what they're talking about.  If your crush loves older music, ask what their favorite song is. Then, listen to the music, and see if you can find similar songs they might also like. All you can do is be yourself around your crush, and see how the cards play out. Remember to pay attention to your crush's likes and dislikes and to be aware of their feelings and their interests, but don't adopt interests that truly bore you.
Summary: Create a friendship, and be around the crush more. Spend more time with the person. Don't push it too far too fast. Be a person they can depend on. Learn more about their interests.

Problem: Article: For professors who use pre-made quizzes from their "instructor's edition" textbooks, purchase a copy. Find the correct edition of the book online and buy it. Before a quiz memorise the answers to the questions. This method is good for entry level science, foreign language and/or history classes that pull their quizzes straight from the book. This can be done by talking to an old student or by talking to other students who might have connections in the class. Study straight from the exam, or if you suspect that the exam will be the same, study the answers straight. If you know a professor or teacher will let you come back to finish a test, purposefully don't finish the exam and ask to come back on a later date. Make sure to memorise the topics or questions so that you can look up the answers before finishing the test later. Claim to be sick, go to thee bathroom towards the end of the exam until its over. Or pace yourself slowly. Be sure that your professor will let you come back before using this method as you could actually do worse if he/she doesn't let you finish. As you turn in your exam, if your professor isn't at her/his desk, use a pencil you brought up with you to change or write in answers from the test at the top of the pile. (This is a high risk!) Keep in mind that some classrooms have cameras. Avoid this if the one you are in does have a camera, because if that is the case, it’s much riskier. Knowing the exact format of the exam paper will help for this, so you can write down all important points on a paper which looks exactly like the the exam paper.   If your exam paper is a question/answer type then remember to add one important point as the question and the other as the answer. You also have to include the page number and marks per question (if included). The next thing to do is staple this piece of paper with the original question paper during the test without anyone noticing.
Summary:
Try getting the "Instructor's Edition" version of your Textbook. Try getting an "Advanced/Old Copy" of the test. Try the "Comeback Later" method. Try the "Bring Your Pencil" method. Try the "Fake Exam Paper" method.
