<p>today on the SAT...like 10 hours ago...the proctor said that she caught me cheating (changing other section answers) twice</p>
<p>first off, she only caught me once - and i was not cheating since even though my answer booklet was on the wrong page (for literally 10 seconds because i was opening it up to turn to the next section), the actual test booklet was turned to the right section
- this first time that she "caught" me was her warning apparently</p>
<p>the first time she "caught" me - was during the sixth section, immediately afterwards we had a break during which she checked out my answer booklet for the FIRST TIME. since it was during the seventh section that I was kicked out, there was no plausible way for her to check my booklet again to see that i had "cheated" a second time</p>
<ul>
<li><p>basically, even if i did cheat the first time - she specifically said it was a warning, and since the second time never happened...well...then i should not have been kicked out the testing room</p></li>
<li><p>does anyone think i have a logical case that i can fight?</p></li>
</ul>
<p>in addition, this date of this test was extremely important since I'm applying to a college summer program (i'm currently a junior) that requires my SAT grade. however, the college program deadline is before the next SAT test</p>
<p>is there anything that can be done? i already called collegboard to lodge a complaint - has anyone had similar cases with positive outcomes?</p>
<p>no i did not -she had just started the clock for the sixth section, and she said to open up the booklets. I opened up my test booklet to the sixth section, but the answer booklet was turned to the fifth section. I spent around 10 seconds flipping the answer booklet to the sixth section. after about another 20 seconds she gave me this “supposed warning” and accused me of cheating</p>
<p>Your behavior was just too suspicious to be overlooked. The proctor’s actions were reasonable and you’ll just have to do without the summer program. Be very careful about following protocol next time.</p>
<p>That’s ridiculous. I don’t have any experience with a report but obviously guys OP DID NOT CHEAT and shouldn’t be punished.</p>
<p>When my sister took it someone cheated in her room. This other kid reported it, and so because of the “testing irregularity” everyone in her room had to retake the test. They took it a couple weeks later–so not on an official SAT testing day.</p>
<p>I’m not really sure what you can do but I wish you the best of luck. That sucks.</p>
<p>It wouldn’t matter if he did or did not cheat the first time, since the proctor clearly indicated it was a *warning<a href=“had%20he%20even%20cheated”>/I</a>, and from what he wrote in the first post, there is no way the proctor could have caught him cheating a second time, so it is the proctor’s mistake for kicking him out, not his.</p>

<p>Please…3-5 seconds on a page is too suspicious? I know kids that will take 10-20 seconds to read a simple thing. No need to call out people with reading difficulties (not saying the OP has reading difficulties).</p>
<p>Wait u were kicked out before u finished the test? I really do not think that anything can be done, there is no way for this SAT to count for anything for you, sorry</p>
<p>Unfortunately, these boards may not be the best place to debate SAT ethics. From what I’ve seen, all of the threads of this sort do not give the OP the benefit of the doubt, and without actually having been there, we can’t really know your specific situation.</p>
<p>At this point, though, it seems as though it may be too late to take action vs. the proctor.</p>
<p>There is no way to find out unless you do it. I say go for it. If you don’t get it, okay. If you do get it, you would be much happier. After all, its not going to hurt.</p>
