Pupils wore hilarious anti-cheating headgear to stop them from looking at other papers during a school exam.

The high school kids brought their DIY helmets to keep them from copying heir classmates' answers for the test in Sultan Kudarat, the Philippines on September 23.

Footage shows the youngsters with wacky pieces on their heads while they answered the questionnaire on their desks.

Some of the designs included a cardboard frog, American DJ Marshmello's mask, an angel with a halo, an oversized ribbon, a mouse with a Christmas tree on its head, and a Minions-inspired hat.

Those who brought homemade anti-cheating headgear were given extra credit for their effort.

Teacher Alvin Ray Garcia said: ‘Beyond the element of fun, the hats serve a practical purpose by obstructing peripheral vision, discouraging cheating attempts. This is a great way to normalise good study habits.'
