A student in America took a full record player into a Physics test so he could listen to music without using a smartphone.

His teacher had banned smartphones from the test as they could be used to cheat – and included the stipulation “not even for music.”

But the enterprising student found a loophole in the rules. He brought in a full record player, and spent the entire test listening to Kanye West.

He thinks his teacher will let him listen to music in future

Wyatt Prutch, who attends Hudson’s Bay High School in Washington, told i: “Kanye was of course the best for test taking, nothing gives you more confidence in yourself than listening to Kanye.”

He also said that he’d continue to listen to music from his record player in class, as he didn’t think his teacher would mind. “I don’t think he will make any rules, he’s a super cool dude, if anything he will want me to keep doing it.”

His teacher tweeted that Prutch had passed the test.

@TheItalianPacca did ace the test whilst listening to college dropout… — Eric Saueracker (@esaueracker) April 12, 2018

He listened to The College Dropout

While he listened to The College Dropout during the test itself, he said that his favourite album was actually Yeezus, and if he did continue listening to music from his record player, he wouldn’t switch artists. “I’d maybe do different songs but def still ‘Ye.”

Prutch isn’t the only student to try and find a way to make exams easier recently – someone else found this way to hack a calculator.
