In high school, they expand their cheating operation by partnering with Victor Barone and Jon Applebee (the latter being their expert crib sheet maker), getting a copy of the janitor's master key, and trading answers to other classmates for money and favors.

World history teacher Mrs. Herman, nicknamed "the grade book" for keeping a meticulous written record of her students' daily behaviors, is about to give her class their final exam.

Julie, resentful for being waitlisted by Tufts University and having to compete with cheaters for good grades, convinces the other girls to stop giving their notes to the boys.

Victor takes his frustration out on Herman's adopted sons with a cruel prank phone call, but is convinced by Handsome to apologize to them and recruit their help in stealing their mother's answer key.

Handsome, Victor and Sammy (now working as a double agent to help his friends) suspect Applebee wrote the letter, and having to prevent anyone from Herman's class from naming them on their upcoming video depositions.

Sammy is able to offer Victor a plea bargain, in which he retakes world history at summer school to still get his diploma.

On the DVD edition there is an 18-minute documentary, showing people on whose real life events the story is based, more than 10 years earlier.
