This happened a while ago. I am a college student, and for my analysis class, my professor allowed us to bring a cheat sheet for the exams. His policy was that we could only use optical devices we used on a consistent basis, so for example, I could use my glasses to read my cheat sheet (and I needed them to read anyway). However, we couldn't bring something like a microscope or a magnifying glass to use on the exam. Or could we? I responded to this policy by bringing a magnifying glass to every single class, and used it whenever I took notes. True to his word, the professor followed his policy and allowed me to use it on the exam.
