<p>So I took ap Calc BC exam and my proctor reported me for cheating, the ets and college board are doing their investigation, i didn't cheat and i think i did well. if they "conclude" that i cheated, what can the consequences be other than a canceled score? will the college i will be attending in the fall find out? I'm just concerned with the school I'm attending, i got an academic scholarship and I'm just worried. help?! </p>
<p>Have you notified your parents? This is something you need help at home with, too. </p>
<p>The consequences for this offense can be major. Involve your parents as necessary. And not that you want to tell us, but exactly what cheating you accused of and what’s the evidence? There’s a huge range of possible penalties here. Caught with the wrong calculator, you might get by with a score cancellation. Caught looking at another student’s test - severe consequences.</p>
<p>Ive talked to my parents about it and we’re trying to figure out what exactly to do. And I was accused of looking at another student’s paper. I just want to know/find our if the school I’m attending in the fall will find out if they find me guilty of cheating</p>
<p>Your high school is obligated to inform the college you will be attending of any such updates. So yes, they will. My advice, do something before its too late</p>
<p>Here’s how they are going to look at this - if your wrong answers match the other student’s paper or if there is more than one way to solve a problem correctly, and the other student used a non-common approach that also appears on your paper exactly, you are caught. Not saying you are or aren’t guilty, but that’s what they’ll look for. If there’s any chance this is the case, get ahead of it.</p>
<p>And in a messages to anyone in the future - you’ve been accepted somewhere, maybe someplace amazing, it’s senior year, who cares what you get on your AP test, why would you risk everything over even the appearance of cheating? Maybe nothing will happen to OP because they aren’t guilty, but the thought of something happening has got to be torture. D tells me cheating is a way of life for some kids, but the consequences can be huge.</p>
<p>I’m glad your parents are involved. Tell them the truth. Don’t hold anything back from them. You need their help with this problem. You need to know what your rights are in this situation, so at the very least research the AP site for information about cheating on their exams. There is probably a guidebook for teachers and/or proctors of the exam that instructs them on how to detect, verify, and report cheating. Get to know it. Also check the AP site for any information about your rights when you’re accused and the procedure AP follows for running down reports made by proctors and teachers. Treat it like a research paper you have to write–only it’s much more important than any research you will do this year. </p>
