<p>Wow! Just read the whole thread and that’s pretty awesome.
Congratulations.</p>
<p>OlzHaz, you are completely wrong. I cheat off a lot of people without them noticing.</p>
<p>^ LOL</p>
<p>^ ooo 1 post from 1000</p>
<p>This can’t be. When I called CB regarding the investigation over my SAT jump they explicitly said it was because of a 200+ point jump…in a section, twice (I had last taken the SAT two years ago). The score was deemed legitimate after they looked at my strong SAT2 history.</p>
<p>EDIT: just saw OP’s most recent posts…Thought that’s what would happen.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>This doesn’t mean anything.</p></li>
<li><p>I guess you could say this.</p></li>
<li><p>This doesn’t mean anything you could have still looked at other people’s sheets.</p></li>
<li><p>What?</p></li>
<li><p>Good arguement.</p></li>
<li><p>Your best arguement by far.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>“THE PERSON NEXT TO ME MISSED 2!!! AND I THINK HE GOT CAUGHT LIFE IS GOOOOOOODDDDDDDDD”</p>
<p>Really? The College Board shares other people’s scores?</p>
<p>I’ll tell you not to worry b/c I have been accused of duplicating essay on my Nov SAT. They actually sent me mails to say “you can cancel your scores. blah,etc”/
I did not cheat or whatsoever, so i just paid no attention to their “warnings” and later in April this year, they released my scores.</p>
<p>OMG congratulations!!! I read this whole post and I’m so happy for you! Good job! You scared me there for a second…I guess I will study extensively befor taking any standardized test before they come at me with accusations. The person who cheated off of you must have had a lot of guts to cheat with the proctor thee and all those threats of what happens if you get caught.</p>
<p>How do you know so much about the person sitting next to you? His score? His outcome?</p>
<p>the Undy132 - you rock! We are very happy for you. You stared them down! Showed 'em whooz d’boss. You are a cold blooded killa . . .</p>
<p>lol it’s because he goes to the same school as one of my best friends…he, like an idiot, was bragging about his score and get THIS: POSTED HIS SCORE REPORT ON FACEBOOK. so naturally, it was, to be honest, a bit obvious, even to me</p>
<p>Wow, that kid can’t cheat for his life! lol… posting it on facebook…</p>
<p>haha nice. i just typed in ‘retake sat because someone cheated’ into google to make me feel better, cause i ahve to retake the ap ushistory test now due to an idiot leaving behind his cheat sheet. =/</p>
<p>also, if he were lying he probably wouldn’t have specified Elite. that place is super legit. went there myself over the summer lol</p>
<p>wuchu…you’re kidding, right? they CAN’T do that…they just CAN’T. that’s so messed up, even CONSIDERING that this is collegeboard…do you know if you guys are going to take the same test that you already took, or is it different? and i thought the apush test this year was actually abnormally easier than years before…i took every real exam ever released before the apush test this year; by far, this was easier than the ones from previous years. only question that was even remotely difficult was the campbell’s tomato soup question, the answer to which was “pop” and i thought it was impressionism because i really did not know what any of the others, pop incuded, even meant lolol</p>
<p>ETS is made up of *******s. To them, it’s “guilty until proven innocent.”</p>
<p>I’m aiming for a +200 (2300+) on my next SAT and if I do improve that much, I don’t want to be questioned.</p>
<p>ryanxing: you should be good to go. i can kind of see ets’ perspective on my situation, because it was indeed odd that there were multiple 2400’s, and a few other students close to 2400’s, that were all, coincidentally, in the same room. (yes, ets DID reveal to me that there were a few other people in the room that got close to my score other than the guy i know who got caught). however, i believe that if you do not/did not do anything wrong, by providing sufficient evidence that proves to ets otherwise, and by continuing to stand by your assertions that you are innocent, you should be good to go. i hate the constraints of the system and its strict rules, yes, but without such systems, the real cheaters, like the guy who almost got away with it, would have unfair scores. i believe that etsat the very least, has that small comfort going for them.</p>

<p>Ideally, the proctor distributed the tests in order, one by one, row by row, so that all s/he had to do was remember the first and last serial number and and the direction that s/he passed them out. They are supposed to fill out a seating chart that has a square for each desk, by putting the serial number in the square where that test book ended up. The students have to write their names on the back of the test books. So yes, it is simple to know who had which book and where they were seated IF the proctor follows the rules. </p>
<p>I have never heard of people being seated alphabetically – the instructions actually say to seat people randomly, break up obvious groups of friends etc. Then once they are seated, the books are passed out, and only then is the seating chart filled out to record who has been seated where. It’s not the other way around, like they have the seating chart already filled out before you get there with your name on a seat. But when you get there, the proctor will probably tell you where to sit in order to enforce randomness. </p>

<p>She should have told the proctor, because this sort of thing is to be handled with a verbal warning and then the proctor would be keeping an eye on that person in case it happened again, at which time they can be dismissed. There are many ways a proctor can control this sort of situation if they are only aware of it. I personally would do a verbal warning, thereby calling everyone’s attention to the person (that’s the most effective part of a verbal warning), and then I would move them to a seat right in front of me, perhaps at a desk-side seat that I put there just for that purpose. There’s no reason to sit there and be upset that you see someone doing something wrong. All you have to do is tell the proctor, and it’s easy enough to do it while pretending to sharpen your pencil, coming in & out on breaks etc. There are apparently many proctors who don’t follow the rules, but there are also many who do follow the rules and would be happy to enforce them on the other students’ behalf. </p>
<p>Just from sheer probablility, it’s possible that the person sitting next to you might have the same form of the test. But I wouldn’t count on it. 
But it’s a moot point because as I said CB can quite easily figure out exactly who had which test and where they were seated. And it also should be easy to know which proctor had which room as well since the seating chart must be signed and have the room number on it when it is turned in.</p>
<p>I believe you. You should probably talk to your proctor or just retake and hope for the same grade. :]</p>
<p>rough man, good luck</p>
<p>Sue the ETS for accusing you of something without as much as a pinch of evidence! You rightfully paid for the test and there is nothing that makes you seem like you did anything wrong. Last time I check people can study, work hard and get their scores up. They have no way to know if in your last test someone was sneezing and that didn’t let you concentrate, the discrepancy could be caused by a lot of things, but they have no right to accuse you of cheating just because you did better the second time you took a test.</p>
<p>If this happened to me I’d call them immediately and demand the problem be fixed before I hang up the phone! I already called them once to politely tell them that If I were to die while trying to get into the Test Center (it was on strike, there were students with bats, clubs, and other stuff) they would be tried for depraved indifference murder, they changed the test center the next day :)</p>
