Silent a Watch (Good for Sat)+reversible

This year i took the sat test.. and i was horrified when i read that "any watch that even beeped will get your score canceled" ..ok not the exact words but thats what it mean
so i had my trusty Casio F-200 watch with me which beeped everytime i pushed a button..
i searched online and "special exam silent watch" "made specially for official test" cost a painful 40 USD... my watch cost me 25RMY= 8USD

so i open up my watch and see what i can do
items needed
1) Casio F-200 watch (i dont know about other watches)
2) small "cross" bit screwdriver
3) duct tape
4) 2-10 minutes

first step is to unscrew the four small screws at the back, make sure you keep them well

ok look at your watch and find the small spring
(see picture for an idea)

now, look at your back plate
that is the buzzer (see picture)
and the small exposed part there is where the spring contacts it to make it beep

Final Step...
