Cheating

<p>What are we arguing about? OP already made the complaint; he will have to deal with the consequences regardless of the morality of his actions.</p>

<p>Snitches get stitches.</p>

<p>Watch out everybody, Monoclide the grammar police is now patrolling the forums.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Verbal flaying by anonymous posters on CC, however, is not. :)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Aww. :frowning: I wanted that to be my job.</p>

<p>Sorry if my grammar isn’t as good as you might expect on CC = p.</p>

<p>^ You have a special job don’t worry.</p>

<p>If the ETS notices that they have really similar answer choices and also missed roughly the same number with the same answer choices chosen, I think it’d be pretty obvious that they are the cheaters.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>So you don’t think they’ll play Jumangi? $5 says they do.</p>

<p>But on a more serious note, while the ETC may be able to determine who the cheaters are by matching up answers–well, at least to your knowledge–there still remains the chance that they will not be able to determine who they are, unless you provided names when you called them, and all scores will be invalidated.</p>

<p>I’ve put on my Negative Nellie suit for the day. Hopefully, they will be able to find out who the cheaters are according to your logic. If not, then c’est la vie.</p>

<p>

That’s a false analogy. A better analogy would be ratting on two serial shoplifters (who haven’t stolen enough things to increase prices), with someone ratting them out, and the result being that everyone in the store is sent to jail or fined. What markus did wasn’t unethical, it’s just that I think he may have done the wrong thing. While those two should be punished, it shouldn’t come at the expense of everyone else. I think we would both agree that the College Board needs to change its policy on this.</p>

<p>@ksarmand: Fancy meeting you here!</p>

<p>Anyway, my opinion? Don’t !*@$ up the scores for everyone else because you want to save the day and get a slight taste of justice. It might be moral, but it’s even more irrational.</p>

<p>word. Who does that?</p>

<p>OP, what you did is morally right. However, there is a large chance that this will get blown out of proportion. Last year, a school in California (Trabuco Hills or something) got caught for 10 seniors cheating; all 385 scores were invalidated and all students that wanted scores had to retest in August. Also, the teachers, principal, AP Coordinator, your friends that took AP exams, etc. at your school may very well find out that you were the one that caused all of the trouble. </p>

<p>I’m not condoning cheating, but I think you may have acted a little too impulsively. Nonetheless, it’s done, and you can’t do anything about it.</p>

<p>i once narc’d on someone and he ended up having to escape in a white bronco</p>

<p>Keep feeding the ■■■■■.</p>

<p>I know that this is a little different situation, but consider someone cheating on a test such as the SAT. Let’s say, by chance, they get a little higher than you, you both apply to the same college, and they get in and you don’t, because their SAT score was higher. How would you feel then? I honestly can’t believe how much of a relaxed attitude some of you have towards cheating. It’s wrong, and on something as big as the AP Exams, I would say go for it, and report it! Why should someone else get credit for something they didn’t really know, and you studied so hard? Go ahead, bash me all you want, but this is my opinon and I’m sticking to it!</p>

<p>So what’s going on? I didn’t bother to read the other 6 pages.</p>

<p>dude who cares. cheating doesn’t affect you at all.</p>

<p>epic ■■■■■ alert.
if somebody reported his classmates for cheating he wouldn’t be posting it on college confidential</p>

<p>a kid sitting next to me during the AB calc exam was clearly cheating too. He actually opened up the open response booklet like 3 minutes before time was supposed to start and was looking at the questions. also he moved his desk closer to mine and kept obviously looking over but i like scooted away and looked at him directly with a face like o_O so he stopped. haha</p>

<p>it’s lame that people cheat, but whatever. I know that i’ve worked hard enough to get a 5, so some random kid in my class getting a good score doesn’t affect me. i feel bad for him that he has to cheat to get through HS, but whatever. when he gets to the real world he’ll fall behind and won’t succeed</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>It’s nice to see you on this thread, too. :)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Agreed. OP was technically right, but when viewed within a greater context, he/she was actually quite scumbag-ish.</p>

<p>I can give my 2 cents…</p>

<p>I think most of us can agree that cheating is wrong and you should be punished for it. What you did was morally right, but in a way, stupid. It’s one thing to report someone for cheating on a class test or final exam etc, but when it comes to the AP’s, it hurts everyone. I’m pretty sure they void everyone’s tests in the room even if one person cheats. You reporting them basically screwed the other test takers, assuming they find out and acknowledge your report.</p>

<p>I’ll assume you go to a private school because telling on someone would probably get your ass kicked in a public school. I’m not saying you were wrong to report but it’s a little extreme. If they do void the tests you’ll eventually be found it. You gotta shove it off because there will always be cheaters in life. Hell, some people pay others to take their exams for them in college (true fact).</p>

<p>Basically, morally right but very stupid. Kind of a dick move to the others.</p>
