<p>The worst of what I described above was that all the students who cheated got into Ivy League schools. The ACT just said that I should not worry because I am not planning on taking the test. I have saved all emails where the ACT says that I should not do anything about and when they verbally offend me because of wanting to take action. If anyone wants to take action, please let me know. I think that now is time to start acting. I would like to have everyone in the blog writing an email to the ACT telling them that they can allow cheating. If they wont stop it, we need to</p>
<p>Haha wait till they’ve taken many credits at their Ivys - ninety maybe - then rat on them. Watch all their years go down the drain. Pure revenge.</p>
<p>That its true, but that is not the problem. The ACT needs to start caring. They now have the theory that doing anything would do more harm than good. It took them three month for them to start treating me seriously. Only when I sais that if I had to speak with the minister of educatoin I would do so, they start paying me a minimum attention. Tomorrow I post a message where the ACT says that if I continue asking them to stop the cheating there would be bad concequences.</p>
<p>Before I do it, I would like to know what will happen if I post what the ACT told me about cheating. Can they attack me? Its only how they answered me. I just want to make them tell me that they will react.</p>
<p>There is so much pressure to do great on these exams, students will just probably end up cheating forgetting about what’s right, and wrong. I’m not saying cheating is right though. The ACT’S/SAT’s perhaps should be taken on computers with randomized questioning, don’t you think?</p>
<p>chances are, unless a college hears about the cheating during the application process, its too late to do anything. I hardly think they would kick someone out for cheating on the SAT’s when they’ve been a productive member at the college</p>
<p>I think the first post nailed it nicely: Should a person be banned from college after a cheating incident?</p>
<p>After all, what college (regardless of ivy league or UC) will want a cheater to harm the integrity of the school. Simple cancellation of the score, in my opinion, should suffice.</p>
<p>Cheating is so vague with regards to the SAT. How many of us can truly say that we took the test fairly? Has anyone ever completed a problem after time was called? Has anyone ever looked back a couple sections to reassure themselves that they answered the right problem? Has anyone filled in bubbles from previous sections after taking a quick glance at the smart student in the adjacent seat? Has anyone took a quick glance at someone else’s answer sheet to pace time accurately. Does everyone truly put pencils down when time is called?</p>
<p>Sure this is severe cheating in the scenarios mentioned above, but what about simple, minor cheating? Should I be blacklisted from Harvard just because I was bubbling an answer after time was called or my cell phone went off? </p>
<p>We shouldn’t be quick to punish the student for rash mistakes they make. After all, we are young, reckless, and most of all desperate. </p>
<p>Anonymity serves a key purpose in giving students the benefit of the doubt so they can learn from their experiences. Let’s not punish them for life.</p>
