Cheating in AP Stats test...

<p>A friend of mine showed me his calculator on tuesday that was FILLED with notes and formulas to use and which calculator functions did what and the differences between the various types of functions (ie binom, geometric, poisson, norm, cdf/pdfs)</p>

<p>Should I report this?</p>

<p>Oh and only 6 people in our entire school of 2400 took the AP stats test...</p>

<p>No I wouldn’t worry about. If it was really filled with notes then I’m guessing he either didn’t know what to do with said notes when there was a question regarding them/have enough time to look at them all. Besides he is your friend. If collegeboard really cared about this kind of stuff they would have someone check everyone’s calculator right?</p>

3

<p>You have no proof, though.</p>

4

<p>… see other cheating thread… This is becoming a bit redundant.</p>

5

<p>Your procter must be bad or something. It explicitly states in the Collegeboard instructions that Stats Calculators <em>must</em> be cleared. Physics, Calculus, Chemistry don’t get cleared though.</p>

6

<p>^ eh, if the kid actually tried hard to hide the formulas, the conventional clearing of the RAM wouldn’t delete them.</p>

7

<p>lol 10char</p>

8

<p>lol they don’t clear it in Calc.</p>

<p>And what kind of formula would have helped you on the Calc? lolol shouldn’t these be second nature by now?</p>

<p>No, it explicitly says that the calculators WON’T be cleared, because they allow the use of certain programs. There’s like a honor system for not putting notes on your calculator. I would never do something like that but there’s a program called “CtlgHelp” that comes built in on a lot of TI-84 calculators [not mine, =( ] which shows what values to enter for each function.</p>

10

<p>Lol, some friend you turned out to be…no don’t report him noooooooob</p>

11

<p>Lol… see this thread: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/ap-tests-preparation/923730-cheating.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/ap-tests-preparation/923730-cheating.html&lt;/a&gt;
… it has all you will ever want to know on the morality of reporting cheating. :D</p>

12

<p>^ and more… lol</p>

13

<p>Even though I don’t condone the actions of the cheating student I don’t necessarily condemn them. The main reason being is that CollegeBoard allows the TI-89 calculator on all examinations. The programs on the TI-89 don’t really apply to AP Statistics so regardless your friend cheated and will probably get away w/ it. On the other hand if he would of done something similar on the AP Calculus I probably wouldn’t of cared as much b.c a student using a TI-89 has an advantage over someone using a TI-83.</p>

<p>Anyways I have personally never cheated in high school and never will. Hopefully his cheating catches up to him one day.</p>

14

<p>too much hassle to report.</p>

15

<p>Way to tattle tale bro…?</p>

16

<p>snitches get stiches… grow some balls… so what if he cheated? That’s his concern and not yours. It sounds like he downloaded catalog help which is actually a program on the ti-83 website. It sounds like the only mistake he did was become your friend.</p>
