How to write even though you can’t

First and the foremost thing about doing this is that you can play this game only when you have created good influence on the examiner in the earlier questions. I would suggest completing the answers to the questions which you know perfectly. after completion of such questions you can go for the tampering part of rest of the answer paper. There can be two situations wherein you will have to use this technique in two different manners,
1st - calculation oriented problem solving question papers and
2 nd - purely theoretical question papers.
I will speak of the theoretical one's first,
you are almost sure that all that you knew perfectly in the question paper, you have written. Now, next job would be to go for those questions which you know about to a lesser extent. try answering them. Try to recall anything and everything about them from your mind. Make your own links and assumptions about the answers and judge something based on your meager (now that you haven't studied) knowledge of the subject and present it according to the other last moment saving techniques, such as in a haphazard manner on the answer sheet.
About the problem oriented subjects,
use the formulas, do some scribbling work, which even though scribbled should appear to make some sense. No one can guarantee how much effective it may prove. But, as i said this is going to be your last stand, and examiners are not machines, they are humans, and even though humans can show intolerance, they can be patient and emotional. Now, if you are still unsatisfied, try to make some theoretical statements about the step that is being taken in the problem statement. Let's say, instead of writing,
step 1 : surface area of cylinder = 2*3.14*rh
step 2 : surface area = 2*3.14*(5)*(7)
step 3 : surface area = ANS;

write,
according to the given conditions we have to find the surface area of a cylinder
we know that surface area of cone = 2*3.14*rh, ................ eqn (I)
where r is the radius and h is the height of the cylinder
now, we are given that
the radius of the cylinder is 5 whereas height of the cylinder is 7
so substituting the values in the above formula given in eqn (I), we get,
............
and so on.
this example is for a known formula. if, you cant choose anything, you will have to choose your ingenuity...
