Tell students at the start of a test, "During the test, cover your answers. You might even let students know that any student who helps another cheat also will face repercussions. By encouraging them to cover their papers, youll probably be giving most students permission to do what they really want to do. But now, since you directed the action, they'll be able to do it without risking peer disapproval. Also, the students most likely to follow your "cover up" instruction are usually the ones who studied for the test -- and the ones who will have the most correct answers. Thus, you've cut off from view the major sources of correct "cheatable" answers.
