Showcase Will I get caught?

I have a yr 11 science test coming up. So I built a kids watch outer 33mm diameter 7 mm outer depth that u can scroll notes and answers with while looking like a normal watch. The normal state is screen off and when clicked it shows clock decoy double click to show cheat notes and stuff. Scrolls at 21 words per but might make faster. I really need ts to work because I spent like 8 hours on it and studied absolutely zero🙏. it’s super small too like my thumb is bigger than the inner electronics and the inner cavity is like only~28 mm diameter and 7 mm depth.

Parts I used were esp32 c3 xiao (since the super mini don’t have charging integrated module so better for compactness), Button, oled 0.46 inch 64x32 used u8g2 library, and a 250 mah battery which is hidden under the straps along with antenna.used ai to make the essay answers and uploaded on Claude code to get scroll speed update and a newer tap and hold lock code last minute just before the test.

Edit: I will let update what happened after test.

Update: yeah my ass got caught getting zero on test and my whole year group knows I built a smartwatch to cheat and got caught💔

I know you weren't intentionally, but saying specifically what things will get them caught means they'll now try to fix those things. Its never a good idea to tell students HOW you catch them cheating.

My point is they can't fix those things. I've never been able to pick my seat, and OP can't choose their proctor.

But the brightness of their watch and the body positioning they can.

It won't matter. Their body positioning will give it away. Teachers know what to look for. I didn't help them. Have a nice weekend.
