Abra knew it. He kneeeeeew it. He knew that there was no shifting magical hiccoughs with muggle tricks; and to think, had he verbalised his thoughts he might have been looking at ten points for himself. He supposed that was what was meant by 'nothing ventured, nothing gained'.
"HIC."
Again, Abra was relying on what Dopple said to them rather than what was written on the board, though in all honesty, neither option was a very good one. His memory was not the best.
"Singultus Fixus," he mumbled to himself as soon as the professor told them the spell, to stop himself from forgetting it. "Sing-HIC-ultus Fixus. Singultus Fixus." And a tap-on-the-nose-but-with-no-actual-touching. Right, he could remember that, sure.
As soon as they were given the go ahead to practice, Abra repeated the incantation back to himself again, only at normal speaking volume this time. "Singultus Fixus. Sin-GUL-tuss FIX-uss. Singultus Fixus." As for the wand movement, he hesitated at first, because he didn't know whether to act as though he was about to cast on another person, or himself.
So he opted for both. First he made as though he was almost about to tap the invisible nose of an invisible friend beside him, and then he did the same to himself. All bases covered.
"HIC."
Merlin, was he ever ready to get rid of these hiccoughs.
