Discussing questions during the breaks ?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>Hey guys,
I was wondering if it is possible for CB and the proctors to prevent this type of cheating.We know that not everyone has different test.In fact,everyone works on the same questions (just differently arranged) and if 2 or 3 friends happen to be at the same test room ,they can easily discuss test questions during the breaks.Just think what will happen if one student is told the answers to 5-6 math questions .This will raise his math score by approx. 100 points which will have a hugeee impact on his (and maybe others`) college applications.</p>

<p>This problem is pretty universal. It’s not something the college board can do anything about.</p>

<p>But then again, you broke the same pledge they did, just in a different way.</p>

<p>When you signed the back of the test in cursive you pledged not to discuss test answers at any time, which you did.</p>

<p>Don’t throw bricks when you live in a glass house.</p>

<p>Wow I never thought of that before!! Seems like a major oversight on the part of CB, that does make it easy to cheat. But… since the breaks are arranged after two sections, maybe CB just switches the positions of those two sections only? So everyone will have finished a given two sections (albeit in a different order) once they get a break?</p>

<p>But yeah. Also it’s funnny how SAT is so much less intense than the AP. Like, no plastic wrappers or seals, etc. I wonder why that is?</p>

<p>It seems like you are just as bad as them.</p>

<p>That’s always a possibility. But in the end, when is it really going to work?</p>

<p>Sure – 5 questions can be 100 points. But that’s only in the upper rings of 600s and 700s. And if you can score that high on your own, you really don’t need to depend on your friends for a few questions.</p>

<p>It’s the same way. You can always memorize the CR, go to the bathroom, and then search the words via phone/internet. In the end, it looks like you took a 10 minute dump and you got what - 3 answers? </p>

<p>It’s really not worth it for anyone to cheat.</p>

<p>OMG Dabigdawg72<br>
I posted this questions 2 months after I took the test.
I am talking about discussing questions during the breaks !!!
Do you really think this is the same ?</p>

<p>If CollegeBoard REALLY cared about us talking about the test – they’d file a lawsuit against CC.</p>

<p>To be fair, he asked about the questions way after the test. There’s a major difference between doing that and talking about them while the test is going on. The latter gives other students an unfair helping hand, whereas the former doesn’t. I’m not sure if either is permitted, though.</p>

<p>THe former is permitted since after the test the CC moderators allow us to discuss !</p>

<p>Hey, I wasn’t trying to accuse you of anything. I was wondering whether this:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>was true, and whether it applied to your thread or not - whether CC meant something slightly different from what CollegeBoard didn’t permit. I’m not sure, but what does it mean by discussing test answers, anyway? Regardless, I was pointing out the difference between what you were posting about and what you did. So chill :)</p>
