Ditto! It was the first thing I thought when I read the article.
I'm in the Humanities now so there's not that much pressure compared to my wild youth in Engineering (although the student-bitching about the course load is on the same level...
). Back then the study drugs of choice was mostly coffee and cola. There was an urban myth going around about a guy taking speed in order to stay awake and cram, he took the exam while still high and was utterly convinced he'd aced it. He got it back with a big fat 0 because he'd written "I know this!", "This is easy!" and so on for answers.
So we (not me of course, but I heard about people who...) copied assignments, hid notes in the exam hall toilets or tried to bribe the lab assistant with sexual favours instead.
