At one point, the residents started to teach each other the words to memorize and to practice drawing clocks and playing the "count the A's" game. They were learning the test and it was easier to defeat its screening purpose. When the testing authority learned of this scheme, she made up her own words for each test-taker.
I recall a sitcom scene where the character was at the DMV and overheard the person in front of them reciting the letters of the vision test eye-chart... then quickly repeated them over and over in order to commit them to short-term memory. When it was their turn, they recited the letters... but the DMV clerk had flipped the sign over and declared that the person's vision was SO good that they were able to read the BACK of the sign. (Perhaps I Love Lucy or Dick Van Dyke or Andy Griffith?)
My point is... eventually, whatever the scheme or gimmick is... it will catch up with the cheater.
