<p>Does this offer a significant advantage? I saw people doing this when I took the SAT even though it's banned. Do you agree with its status as cheating?</p>
<p>It is considered cheating, and I agree it is cheating. The advantage may not be significant, but adequate enough to label it as an unfair advantage over others.</p>
<p>Many, however, use it to their advantages when the proctor is a lazy/uncaring one.</p>
<p>It is cheating because a kid who is really good at math can finish that section in like 15 minutes, leaving him 10 extra minutes to work on either reading or writing. Or even worse, if they already have a good score in a section and don't care about it, they could use up almost the entire 25 minutes for another section, basically receiving 50 minutes or so on a section that other honest kids have only 25 minutes for. That is definitely unfair</p>
<p>^Leaving sections completely blank is grounds for score cancellation.</p>
<p>What I meant was that that person could just quickly fill in random answers so that it is graded but because most colleges super-score SAT scores, their scores in that section are fine so it doesn't matter to them, giving them ample time to work on another section that other kids only have 25 minutes for.</p>
