Cheating on the SAT

<p>It is not difficult to cheat on the SATs.</p>

<p>There is only one section-proper version of the exam administered at one time, though there may be 2 essay prompts.</p>

<p>Similarly, all the sections are identical, though not necessarily in the same order. It’s not hard to look both at the test book and the answer sheet to see if that person is taking the same section as you or not. THEN copy answers.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t suggest it, however, because unless you’re sitting really close to one another it’s pretty hard to see what exactly they put for an answer choice or which number you’re copying. Chances are you’ll mess up and get everything wrong.</p>

22

<p>To scholarapactsat, I have to ask, what happend? Do you have to re-take the SAT?</p>

23

<p>According to the CB website, the pink versions don’t have an experimental section while the blue ones do.</p>

24

<p>Every SAT has an experimental :)</p>

25

<p>Wouldn’t it be fairly hard for someone to copy someone’s work, if they were sitting at different desks?</p>

<p>And I’ve never cheated. But I’ll definitely make sure no one’s watching my answer book now :).</p>

26

<p>It is hard,but it is not hard to remember the answers of some questions and tell them to your friend during the break :)</p>

27

<p>we had supervision during breaks</p>

28

<p>Going back to previous sections is considered cheating, but so many people do it anyway</p>

<p>Also, are these methods considered cheating?:</p>

<p>1) Writing an essay beforehand, memorizing it, and then making it fit the essay prompt (i have advised people to do this, and they all improved to 11/12)</p>

<p>2) For the subject tests, putting all the answers in your calculator and comparing with a friend after the test to determine if you want to cancel or not</p>

29

<p>How would you write the essay before hand if you don’t know the topic?</p>

30

<p>you just prepare a lot of common examples and use them on the test. that’s not cheating though, that’s preparing for the test.</p>

31

<p>honestly, I couldn’t care less if someone was copying the answers I put down on tests in school and ish, but on the SAT we may end up applying to the same school and my test scores may have been what was going to separate me from that person and then they get accepted over me so I will definitely try to be more cognizant of where others’ eyes are during my testing.</p>

32

<p>The chance of that is so small–if the person who copies your score couldn’t do as well as you did without cheating, do you really think they have competent grades? As in grades that are better than yours? I’m pretty sure the answer to that question is no.</p>

33

<p>An interesting way to cheat on the SAT is to just simply have someone else take it for you. Prepare a fake ID for that person and just have them walk in and take it. This is assuming you can find someone with the capability of scoring high and willing to take a four hour test for you. xP</p>

34

<p>it seems like we are discussing on how to cheat on the SAT :D</p>

35

<p>he proctors create a seating chart and the scan-tron machine compares your score to the scores of students around you. If too many similar patterns are found between two test takers, the College Board will withhold the scores of both parties while they go through the tests by hand. If they believe that one or both of you cheated, they will cancel your scores and allow you to take the test again for free. This may seem extreme or unfair, especially to the person whose answers were copied, but its the only way to ensure that cheaters do not receive credit for copied work.</p>

36

<p>There was a LOT of cheating in my SAT room. The sliest and easiest way that I noticed them cheating was that they opened the front page of their packet as soon as they got it, and thus were able to think about their essay for the 15 minutes that the proctor spent talking about the test. I also saw some kids copying over a couple of grid-in answers from another person’s test; I guess the two guys were friends.</p>

37

<p>The proctors should really pay more attention to this sort of thing.</p>

38

<p>I heard that someone paid a person to take his SAT. But apparently the score increased so dramatically that ETS hand checked the test and discovered that the signature/handwriting had too much variations. Resulting in the test being voided and the student asked to retake the SAT.</p>
