Cheating on the SAT

<p>If I know someone cheated on the SAT subject test (moving onto a new section before time was called), how would I contact the CollegeBoard? I tried searching on their website, but could not find it.</p>

<p>

This should be what you’re looking for.</p>

<p>perfect, thanks!</p>

<p>Just curious, how exactly did you know he was moving on to another section before he was supposed to? I mean, someone taking pics on a cell phone is rather obvious, but you have to be looking pretty hard at their booklet to know what question/test they are on and should be on…</p>

<p>and are you really going to go to all that trouble of reporting him just for some brownie points?</p>

<p>just wonderin</p>

<p>There must be a way to get a box of SATs delivered to your house instead of a school. That would be a good cheating strategy.</p>

<p>Well why were you looking at him flipping the page instead of only looking at your own work?</p>

<p>You should be reported for looking at his paper.</p>

<p>you honestly care that much too go through all the trouble, you need to get a life.</p>

<p>Here are all the reasons why you SHOULDN’T report it:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>He did one another section while one section was going on. Sure, he ended up with 5 extra minutes on one section. But he lost those 5 minutes on another section.</p></li>
<li><p>I think that it should only make a negligible difference in his score. He can’t exactly gain 200-500 points from a few extra minutes on the test.</p></li>
<li><p>The CollegeBoard will have to do an investigation to figure out if he cheated or not. This investigation could jeopardize the scores of everyone else in the room. If nothing, their scores will be withheld until the investigation is done. People can’t afford to not let their scores be released since those scores need to be sent to colleges ASAP.</p></li>
<li><p>What proof will the CollegeBoard get? You’re just wasting your time since it’s not likely that he’ll be caught.</p></li>
<li><p>How do you even know that he was on a new section? Everyone gets the sections in different orders. If I had math followed by writing, and the person next to me had writing followed by math, I’d think that he moved on to the writing section. But he didn’t.</p></li>
<li><p>You’re being a jerk. If you reported him, I would report YOU for looking at his test. Why were you looking at his test in the first place? Mind your own work</p></li>
<li><p>Do you even know who the kid is? How are you going to report him?</p></li>
<li><p>If you DO report him, he’ll hate you forever. You let it slip to one person that you reported him, and in 5 seconds the whole school will know.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>It’s not worth it. If you want to go ahead and report him because it’s the just thing to do, then fine. But you’re going to cause way more drama by reporting him than if you just kept quiet.</p>

<p>Best point from chillaxin:

</p>

<p>Do you really want to punish EVERYONE in your room, including yourself, cuz one guy f***** up??? Your scores could get cancelled. You might have to take the test again. Those scores might not get to schools in time. You’re essentially punishing every kid who didn’t cheat all to take the moral high ground??? Imagine if someone got a 2300. Before that, his best score was a 1900. But he studied all summer, and he skipped school on Friday to study, and he messed up on a couple tests the week before because he was studying for the SAT. Then, he got his score and was just ecstatic. He celebrated with his family and burned his SAT books, never having to take it again. He then sent the score to his ED school.</p>

<p>A few weeks later he gets a call from the CB: Sorry, there was a testing irregularity. You can take the test again, but your scores from this round have been canceled.</p>

<p>Now what? His ED school won’t get the new scores in time, so they’re judging him on the 1900 instead of the 2300. If he chooses to retake, he has to study again, he has to stress again, his schoolwork might suffer again, and he might get a worse score.</p>

<p>Admittedly this is hypothetical, but it’s likely people in your room were in similar situations.</p>

<p>Better to let a guilty guy off than let the innocent people get punished. At least, according to the American justice system…</p>

<p>Do not report it. Just don’t. The aforementioned reasons explain why.</p>

<p>It will invalidate your score as well.
Think about it.</p>

<p>Seriously don’t be this selfish now you know all the things that could happen. And I bet you don’t even know the person you are reporting, maybe he was just caught up in the spur of the moment because that might have been his 3rd SAT lol but seriously stop making other lives miserable just because you obviously are. No one likes a tater tale.</p>

<p>Wow. People. What the hell is with all this hate? Just let the kid do what he wants. It’s his prerogative to report someone or not if he feels morally inclined to do so.</p>

<p>Damn. Seriously, you guys are messed up.</p>

<p>^ But you’re in a cookie jar?</p>

<p>lol @moodraonx I knoe its his preroative however I just wanted him to know how selfish he is being nonetheless</p>
