<p>security is so tight.. how do they do it? do they hire people to take the test for them? do they just, like, go up to the smart kid at the backof the class and offer 300 bucks?</p>
<p>If you knew how they did it, then would you do the same?</p>
<p>Crappy proctors exist..</p>
<p>go read the book called The Taker.....by J.M. Steele....it's a good book!</p>
<p>at the school i went to the proctor was soo bad. people in the back continued to work after time was up or would trade answers with each other and she didn’t even notice! it was so aggravating!</p>
<p>haha I had a proctor who left us by ourselves in a room for 15 minutes. he was also the one that was like I don’t know the difference between these calculators so I won’t bother checking them</p>
<p>You have your friends take the exam for you. Just pay them like 100-200$. I remember people would do that on the AP exams as well. Have your friend go to the proctoring location and when he takes the exam he fills out your information instead. Once finished he turns in the exam, it gets graded and you get credit for the score instead. It isn’t widespread but thats one way I know.</p>
<p>SAT security actually seems inadequate, especially if your proctor sucks. Though recently they’ve been requiring picture ID, so I doubt scenarios like killer2021’s would work very well.</p>
<p>AP security, from what I can tell, is thankfully much better (again, depending on proctor). Just thought I’d throw that in, seeing as how this is the AP forum ;)</p>
<p>well I took the APs awhile ago and thats how it was done. It depends on the testing staff. Some people don’t care about it at all. No picture ID checking at my location!</p>
<p>Well, to put it one way, my phone went off twice during one SAT and my proctor didn’t take it. And I wasn’t even cheating - it was pressed against my water bottle in my purse, so it turned itself on and made that WELCOME TO VERIZON song noise.</p>
<p>Well, in Gossip Girl (lol yes I’m actually referencing it) yeah, they got someone else to take the test for them. </p>
<p>Also, I once took a test and a girl was allowed to take it even though she didn’t have picture ID. She had this strange document instead. I don’t think proctors really know what to do in such situations, so mine just let her take it.</p>
<p>I hope Gossip Girl doesn’t condone cheating or that the teenage audience wouldn’t be that low to do that.</p>
