<p>So I know this girl who supposedly went from a 23 to a 33, with tons of practice and tutors, also keeping in mind she took it like five times. Then I heard from someone else that if you increase your ACT score by a certain increment of points, the ACT people will send the colleges you apply to a notice of such an increase....suggesting that cheating could be an explanation for such a drastic increase in score. Anyone heard any truth to this?</p>
<p>That sounds extremely far fetched to me, unless they caught an individual cheating it is a hasty assumption to believe that they have been cheating because they have studied hard and boosted their score greatly.</p>
<p>I doubt it. In cases of suspected cheating, they do have you retest, and if you score reasonably close, they just give you your score. IIRC anyways..</p>
<p>especially when someone takes it th at many times, with a gradual upward trend, it wouldn't make any sense to accuse them of cheating.</p>
