a cheater??

Test Preparation
1

<p>I have a question...</p>

<p>During the May SATs, I sat next to a kid who was in resource room, not a very bright kid (by no means a complete stupid kid) but one who most certainly was not expecting over a 2000 on the SATs. It turns out he had the same test format as me, and after the test he was bragging to his friends that he cheated off of me -- I also noticed him during the test looking over at my test. It's pretty much KNOWN that he cheated off of me.</p>

<p>What do I do? I don't like being a tattle-tale, nor do I want to be a tattle-tale. Should I just let it blow over? Or tell someone?</p>

<p>there's some phone number/e-mail address to call on the colegeboard's site, and i think if the kid is dumb enough to brag about it, you shouldn't feel bad about telling someone.
I mean it's not like you're jumping to any conclusions about him, he admits doing it.</p>

3

<p>what a dips***. Call the office of testing integrity at collegeboard</p>

4

<p>Yes -- no fun to be a tattle-tale (spelling? lol), but I agree with whoever said IF HES DUMB ENOUGH TO BRAG ABOUT IT, HE DESERVES IT.</p>

<p>Don't feel bad at all. </p>

<p>Btw, what do you mean by "During the May SATs, I sat next to a kid who was in resource room"</p>

<p>What's "resource room"?</p>

<p>Definetely report him... it'll probably work.</p>

5

<p>Tell on him. End of story.</p>

6

<p>ugh - tell the collegeboard!!! cheaters disgust me</p>

7

<p>Since we're on the subject, does anyone know much about the process?</p>

<p>Like, what happens if I call CB and talk about how all the kids I hate were cheating on the test? </p>

<p>(just a thought)</p>

<p>What do they do in investigating?</p>

8

<p>if u don't tell, you are making him take someone else's spot for college</p>

9

<p>do the right thing, nail him to the wall by ratting him out.</p>

10

<p>Exactly....</p>

11

<p>agreed......</p>

12

<p>It's not too late to report this.</p>

13

<p>report him, he deserves it. what he did is completely unethical and you shouldnt be worried about being a tattle-tale.</p>

14

<p>I noticed that someone was cheating off of me... but i didn't turn him in, for fear that they would accuse me of cheating, and not count my score-- and i thought i did really well... :-/</p>

15

<p>and what did the cheater-kid end up getting, btw?</p>

16

<p>yea im just curious.</p>

<p>if he has a higher score than u, then definitely report it</p>

<p>but i doubt u know him, so just report it to ETS. i'm sure theres a process u go through</p>

17

<p>Will the ETS/Collegeboard need proof? What proof do you have, other than your own words?</p>

18

<p>im sure if u give them info like test center... name... they'll find ur booklet and try to match it w/ the guy who cheated off her.</p>

<p>if the answers match up, it would be obvious something is fishy.</p>

19

<p>lol he should have waited atleast for the Op to leave the room. Such fools need to be taught a lesson.</p>

20

<p>i don't know -- because if he was reported, it's obvious that the fingers would point to me as the person who "told on him".... I might as well wait another week for the scores to come out -- who knows, knowing him he may have copied the wrong sections lol -- if the scores are extremely similar, I think I should report him -- if not, I won't worry. And in terms of him taking a spot that could be mine in college, I highly doubt it. For a kid with a D, maybe C average getting over a 2000 on the SATs, taking all regular classes, something has to be fishy, and I think colleges know that -- I doubt he's applying to Yale or even NYU for that matter :-D</p>
