Cheating on SAT Subject Tests?!

<p>I know this boy at my school who cheated on his SAT IIs and got away with it! Aren't there different versions?!</p>

<p>tattle on him ;) no they are the same versions...but if you're from west coast..he could have contacted someone from east coast and found out 3 hours earlier ;).. or he could have simply cheated off of someone next to him</p>

<p>No I don't think I will tattle, but I know cheating on things like that will hurt him in the long run. It's just not fair though, you know. I would thinK that there would be different versions for the SAT Subject tests! -__-</p>

<p>Yeah, it would be in the best interest of the integrity of collegeboard to make different versions, HOWEVER, financially, they would never do it. This would mean that they would have to make different versions for every test, even the ones that are less taken (way too much money).</p>

<p>It would be especially smart to have different versions for other countries... I am in Australia and would have at least 10 hrs to phone anyone in the US I feel like before they do their exam. But its not like you can remember much after 1 hr flat stick work.</p>

<p>u could probably tell your friend to like store your answers(A,B,C,D in there graphicing calculator and tell you over the phone.. haha awsome idea</p>

<p>CB acts like cheating never happens and everyone who does is prosecuted, but truthfully, it's just as common as cheating for other tests, and it's not that difficult as guy said. :p</p>

<p>ur supposed to bust him. Every protoctor reads that you could bust anyone for any misconduct by contacting collegeboard. </p>

<p>And you should. If a college gets your app and his app, and he got more SAT II marks than you when the rest of your appsa re the same... how would you feel then</p>

<p>Very true Joe. Let the cheat have what he deserves.</p>

<p>I don't think you should bust him. That is something he'll have to live with; that's the end of that mystery.</p>

<p>YOu could probably easily just have a friend take one test first and then during the ensuing break, exchange calculators in the bathroom and do itlike that...I'm sure it happens all the time.</p>

<p>Yes, you should bust him. Most likely he's not at all worried about "having to live with it." The only thing I reckon he should live with is the cancellation of his phony SAT scores and the problems he'll have getting into college like that. :)</p>

<p>I think that's really mean, I really do. Would you want to receive such a grave punishment if you cheated? And saying you won't cheat is a load of beans, and isn't my question. Would you want to be outted like that?!</p>

<p>Err, no I wouldn't, which is why I don't cheat. I study hard and earn my scores, and don't want to compete with freeloaders who cheat to get their scores.</p>

<p>Exactly....my point; you wouldn't want that punishment.</p>

<p>i agree he deserves to get caught. it will be good for his concious in the long run. also, if you do the right thing and bust him, bust him early. that way he will have time to retest. sure he is a cheater, but even cheaters deserve a second chance</p>

<p>By saying that I wouldn't want that punishment, I <em>am not</em> saying that it is unfair. I believe that it is the fair punishment for cheating.</p>

<p>Because it is fair, and because I don't want it, I don't cheat. It's quite simple really.</p>

<p>Stop justifying your reason. The truth is, you wouldn't want the punishment. End of story!</p>

<p>No I wouldn't want the punishment, but that doesn't rule it out for offenders. Who wants 20yrs in jail? But pedofiles deserve it.</p>

<p>And as sharkbite says, cheats certainly deserve a second chance.</p>

<p>The harshest punishment I have heard for the SAT or SAT Subject Tests for cases of cheating is the cancellation of the scores in question. Reporting the student would send the message that cheating is not rewarded on the exam (and perhaps encourage College Board to tighten its security measures), yet would not be so harsh as to bar him from attending college. If you truly think that what he did was unfair, you may want to consider reporting the incident. (Or you can at least think about reporting an incidence of cheating without necessarily giving the student's name.) Students do cheat fairly often on the SAT; it's an injustice to the majority of the students who honestly and fairly achieve their scores.</p>
