I think your idea of getting people to buy the books might be better but it's really hard to stop cheaters. For example, one of the cheaters had a crib sheet on the floor you said and not in the book. Cheating gets more and more advanced as the stakes rise too. I've heard of kids breaking into a grader's office to change their answers prior to getting a grade. I think the best way to succeed is to push yourself so you know the material to the point that you can get a better grade than a cheater and if you see a cheater in class to ask that the prof have more TAs patrol the classroom.

For the record, the whole cheaters thing is not my primary concern here. I started this whole thread b/c I felt like I felt I was prepared for the test, paniced and ended up doing terrible. From what some of my friends tell me, it happens. And this is honestly the very first time it's happened to me, so I didn't know how to react. I *KNOW* that bombing the test was my fault.. so I'm not trying to point the blame of my poor preformance on someone else.
When I was discussing the exam with some people in my project group for that class and one of them openly admitted to me that he cheated it did make me angry.
I believe at our school nothing can really happen about cheating unless you are caught (although I haven't read the University Code of Conduct in awhile, so I could be wrong)
I basically want to make sure the cheating doesn't happen again. If it means we have to go to the bookstore and buy those blue books for test taking, then so be it.. In my eyes spending a buck or two is a pretty good investment if it means cheaters can't hide their notes in them.
Thanks so much for everyone's posts
