<p>I had a 280 point increase in only a couple months. i dnt think it is that uncommon. I think it only looks suspicious if someone has a 350+ increase between simultaneous tests it might spark some suspicion. But seriously. how can someone cheat on SATs. I mean cheat enough to get a 350+ point increase. I think it would be harder than just studying to actually raise your score</p>
<p>Also [at least where I took the SAT], each person has a different test booklet in which the sections are rearranged, so their various math and reading sections aren't going to be bubbled in in the same places as the person next to them.. so I'd think that cheating would be quite difficult, and probably would have to include flipping through your neighbor's test booklet. lol. I know a few people whose scores were delayed - not because of a suspicious point increase - but just a fluke incident where the scores didn't arrive on time.</p>
<p>Actually zfox001, I know a kid who cheated like crazy and got an 1850. He's a very stupid kid, but his proctor messed up and gave his neighbor the same test booklet. I don't know whether he copied his neighbor answer for answer, but I think if he did it would have been investigated.</p>
<p>Man, you'd think if your neighbor had the same test booklet and you were that desperate to cheat that you could get better than an 1850! Hah :]</p>
<p>Unless his neighbor was even stupider than he. :)</p>
<p>haha...thats kinda funny...he probably wishes his neighbor was smarter! haha
But i guess it is possible. Just hard and for the most part the kid just got really lucky that the proctor messed up</p>
<p>the way i had it... there were empty columns next to each other...</p>
<p>so it was</p>
<p>one -- empty -- one -- empty -- one</p>
<p>no way of cheating unless you copy the person behind you</p>
<p>See, this kid probably would have landed a 1300 if he hadn't cheated, so an 1850 is amazing for him. It's not like he's a CC'er haha, so 1850 was probably a score he dreamt of.</p>
<p>^By the way, the spellcheck is saying dreamt is wrong but they have it on dictionary.com with a strange definition haha, is it wrong or something?</p>
<p>it would probably be dreamed??? Dreamt should not be wrong though</p>
<p>I think "dreamt" is British and "dreamed" American, lol.
Similarly, "whilst" is British and "while" is American
I might be wrong though... :S</p>
<p>what's flagged for SAT?</p>
<p>No delay please. I can’t wait more.</p>
