Cheated on a test

Chance Me / Match Me!

So the other day I cheated on a few problems on a test because I was stressed. I realize that cheating is wrong and that my teacher wanting to talk to my dad is understandable. My father is emotionally and (very rarely physically) abusive. No one knows about this and so I want to know what will happen. The teacher said I can retake the test so I assume she won’t penalize me too much for it. I got home at 10 the night before the test. That day she had moved the test from the next week to the next day. I had several other tests that day and my father had grabbed my arms and almost left a bruise that night. When I cheated on the test I understood it was wrong but I was so scared about what my father would do if I got a bad grade. I’m absolutely terrified that he’ll hurt me (physically or mentally or verbally) when he finds out. I have a lot of pressure to keep my grades up and I’m very upset with myself for doing this. Will this go on my transcript even though it wasn’t a final, she’ll let me retake it, and it wasnt a major test?

Thanks guys…

It will only go on your transcript if you’re teacher decides to report it. If she puts it on your file it can be seen by admissions officers and even future job interviewers. However, since you said it wasn’t a big test your teacher probably will not report it. Maybe later go ask your school to see whats on your file just to be sure. But if your teacher is letting you retake it you are probably in the clear! Sorry this happened :frowning: good luck!
