<p>Just curious, there's this person I dislike who I overhead discussing multiple choice and frq questions on AP tests we took together. </p>
<p>Would it be possible to report this to the AP integrity services? If so, would they actually look into it and would this person have a real shot at getting their scores cancelled?</p>
<p>They will go through a lengthy process where everyone who took the test in the same building as you will have their scores delayed possibly jeopardized. Not worth it.</p>
<p>Just take his AP number and forge a signature to cancel his score >_></p>
<p>Um, that sounds ridiculously stupid of you to do. Basically 90% of people discuss the FRQs and MC right after anyway. ANd also, there’s a really good chance that everyone who took the test in the same room, possibly everyone in your school, may get their scores cancelled</p>
<p>Like people have said, he might get his scored canceled, but all the rest of you might then have to go retake the test. Reporting people for cheating because you don’t like them is dumb.</p>
<p>I doubt that everyone’s scores would be canceled, because talking about the MC has nothing to do with the integrity of your test and responses. Just because you talk about something shouldn’t be grounds for your work to come into question.</p>
<p>However, I don’t know exactly what all the stuff that we sign says. I’m sure at least the person who discussed it would have their score canceled, but not the others.</p>
<p>And honestly, this is pretty stupid. Just because you don’t like somebody doesn’t mean you should go finding ways to ruin something for them.</p>
<p>@amarkov: Cheating? Who cheated?</p>
<p>Don’t screw over a guy by taking his AP score away… that’s lame. You become the dbag, not him…</p>
<p>SeekingUni. . . dont get started now. If you’re going to take amarkov, you’ve going have to get thru me first. Its okay amarkov I’ve got you covered. lol :)</p>
<p>“Why can’t we be friends?”</p>
<p>I just want to say, I’m not one of those people who thinks you should just leave others well alone and worry about yourself. If this guy cheated, then I’d support a report to the ETS. But this isn’t cheating, and holds no personal gain for the “culprit”, so there’s no point in doing anything about it.</p>
<p>@steel: Ummm…okay? lol</p>
<p>Normally, when somebody posts a thread about going to the OTI because somebody cheated, they get called friendless and a loser, and I internally disagree. Like, there was this one kid who posted about how these girls were blatantly cheating on the AP Stats exam as well as other exams. I thought he was justified in reporting them for cheating.</p>
<p>But this? This doesn’t affect you or others taking the test in any way. Everybody I know discusses the MC and FRQs in plain earshot of the proctors. You obviously can’t change your multiple choice answers once you’ve turned it in. And you’re going to report this kid because you don’t like him?</p>
<p>Seriously, don’t do that. The fact that you’re even considering this makes me wonder about certain characteristics of your life.</p>
<p>^ Exactly my sentiments. I supported the dude who reported the girls on the Stats exam, but this is just ridiculous. Or as Puss in Boots would say: Redonkulous.</p>
<p>^
This.</p>
<p>That would be a really low thing to do. Especially since 95% of people do this in some form.</p>
<p>Plus, they might cancel EVERYBODY’S score, not just his.</p>
<p>The only time you should report cheating is when it’s blatant cheating i.e. someone stealing answers or discussing answers while the test is still in session.</p>
<p>After the test has ended, and the proctors have collected the answer sheets, it probably does more good than harm to discuss the questions in terms of education, because you get to review whatever it was you may or may not have forgotten.</p>
<p>Keasbey Night, how would the girl who cheated on the ap stats exam affect him or any other person taking the exam besides the girl who cheated?</p>
<p>It’s just not fair that somebody else can get a good grade for doing nothing while others work hard for their scores.</p>
<p>Seriously, we really shouldn’t get into the same debate in this thread that occurred in another thread. Discuss the cheating situation in the cheating thread.</p>
<p>miami - cheating gains you an unfair advantage on a test. Discussing answers after you clearly can’t change them? No possible advantage. If you’re discussing MC before the FRQs, there’s a very slight change it might, but after the FRQs are handed in, it really doesn’t matter.</p>
<p>The use of the words “we took together” makes me think you did the same thing or that maybe you’re jealous of the person??? (just saying :))</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I saw it in another thread and thought it applied.</p>
<p>^ That was my post. :)</p>
<p>Keasbey, even if the person gains an unfair advantage, it still does not change how you will do on the test. For example, if that person on the stats exam were to get a five on the test because he knew it well, even if the girl cheated, he would still get a five.</p>
<p>It changes how they do on the test, and scores only have meaning relative to others. Plus, if enough people cheat like the two girls in stats did, it could affect the curve of that year’s test. It’s the whole idea of voting in a large democracy. One vote won’t change anything, but if everyone has that mentality, the entire system is screwed up.</p>
