A student at a Texas school made a bet with his art teacher to cancel the final exam if he receives 15,000 retweets, ABCNews.com reported.
Andrew Muennink, a senior at Round Rock High School, originally suggested 5,000 retweets to teacher Cindy House, but they eventually settled on three times that on Wednesday.
"I try my best and the final is supposed to be so hard, so I was like, 'I have a lot of followers on Twitter,'" he told ABC News of the idea.
Muennik has until May 23 at 12 p.m. to meet the minimum requirement. If he doesn't, he and his 30 classmates will have to take the test.
"I think [other schools] should [do this] because it's really cool how Twitter can be an influence," he said.
The tweet, which includes a picture of Muennik and House shaking hands, has 5,822 retweets as of Friday morning.
While Muennik's use of social media is garnering plenty of attention, he is not the first student to use it to his advantage during final exams.
Matthew Francis, a student at Missouri State University, will not have to take his exam in a social media class in he reaches 20,000 retweets.
"I'm trying to get my teacher on board with a social media challenge. 20,000 retweets = no final #challengeaccepted," Francis tweeted on May 6.
