<p>I was accused of cheating on the ACT back in January when they sent me a letter stating what might of happened and I would have 3 options to resolve this problem. I did not cheat, but rather spent about 5 months preparing myself for my last and final test (I went from a 24 to a 30). I chose to retake the test because I thought that was the easiest to do and I didn't want to send in my transcript because it wouldn't back up my scores. Although I thought I would receive a letter within a few weeks latest, but actually a few days ago I finally received a letter saying I have up to May 5 to retake my test (will receive my scores within 3 weeks), but I have already been accepted to numerous colleges and made my deposits for a school already. What will happen now? Can the college I am going to revoke my admission? Does anyone have recommendations of what I should do?</p>
<p>how were you accused of cheating? are they suspecting you just because your score increased substantially?
if that’s the case, ask them if you can go ahead and retake it to prove that you earned that score, but still keep the last score</p>
<p>I dont believe I can get a 27 to keep my 30 because I assumed after over a month of not hearing from ACT, I wouldn’t be taking it anymore. I haven’t practiced since beginning of February and now I have to take it within 2 weeks. Before this whole thing, I haven’t picked up a book on the ACT since September/October…</p>
<p>try to contact them again. get your parents involved. maybe a tutor if you possibly had one. perhaps some evidence. do you have your old practice tests that you wrote on? try to convince them that you didn’t cheat.
most likely, they won’t believe you. but it’s probably your best shot. study for the ACT coming up in 2 weeks. there’s not much else you can do sadly. good luck!</p>
