<p>What should I do?</p>
<p>I dont like the kid, and apparently he went from ~1500 (500 each, 480 in math) to a ~1950 (800 math) in 2 months, and hes already in college and going there.</p>
<p>Should I call the college? Should I let him fail out(he will trust me)? Should I call college board?</p>
<p>Will doing all of these things be anonymous?</p>
<p>Thanks for the help.</p>
<p>AND BTW, he's been bragging about cheating for a while</p>
<p>whatever you do, you'd only look like a fool if you ratted him out.</p>
<p>he isnt competition for one of your slots, and even if he is a cheater, finking isnt going to do anyone much good. plus youd have to prove it.
can you do that?</p>
<p>if it bothers your conscience in any way that he cheated, do it
if it bothers your conscience that you are "ratting" him out, don't do it</p>
<p>Dont Do It</p>
<p>btw, how did he cheat</p>
<p>how do you know for sure that he cheated? and also if he's already in college going there? why did you wait so long? it's probably too late to make much of a difference now...</p>
<p>What type of cheating? Is it the type of cheating where he filled in a bubble 20 seconds after time was called on a section?</p>
<p>if this is just some kind of dumb joke.....</p>
<p>its completely lame.</p>
<p>Why would you do that? Its not like it would benefit you. In the long run, as cliched as it is, it will only hurt him.</p>
<p>I saw one guy with AP Bio cliffnotes book on AP Bio test, but it's his choice, don't tell anything about this person unless he brugs around about his admission</p>
<p>it depends on how he cheated</p>
<p>its really not your buisness</p>
<p>how do you cheat on the SAT! I've never heard of that and I personally think that it would be impossible to cheat!</p>
<p>Not your business? Jeez, I think it would be the right thing to tell (not now though). This definitely should have been taken care of at the time of the test. It's far too late now...</p>
<p>Ummm, I know a few people that cheated. You can't do much about it. And to the people that say it's not possible to cheat, I'm not going to say how, but it is possible (I don't want to give the youngins any ideas). By the way, I didn't cheat on my SAT's, but it was tempting.</p>
<p>Goddammit people! Cheating is everybody's business!</p>
<p>Half of the problem is that everyone seems to be so complicit about cheating. Rhetoric like "ratting out" and "snitch" try to demonize the ones who are trying to uphold a genuinely competitive, correct atmosphere.</p>
<p>Realize that HE's the one who is at fault. Regardless of whether or not you like the kid, informing colleges would be a favor to
a) kids on the waitlist at the college
b) the college itself, which doesn't want cheaters
c) the cheater.</p>
<p>Don't accept that "he'll get what he deserves in time". Justice is giving each his due, and if he deserves punishment for making a mockery of honesty and integrity, it's your duty as the witness to follow up.</p>
<hr>
<p>With all that being said, there's certainly issues with proof and whether or not you can know that he cheated. The proper course of action is not to tell colleges that "this kid cheated". Rather, tell colleges "I have suspicion that this kid cheated, based on evidence X, Y, and Z. Here's the contact for my school's principal and the kid's councelor. Follow up however you see fit". It's probably a good idea to give the college your information, but you may want to ask to stay otherwise anonymous (so the suspected cheater can't take some misguided revenge).</p>
<p>At this point, you've done your duty, and you can count on colleges (assuming a standard level of competance) to be discreet and fair in their investigation and decisions.</p>
<p>Do what's right.</p>
<p>a lot of people cheat at my school. it's the fact that kids can have 2 calcs during the math sections. they bring their 89's with the dictionary and whatever calc they actually KNOW how to use.
ridiculous.</p>
<p>Just let people cheat. And if they get caught, they would probably face severe consequences. Then you can sit back and laugh.</p>
<p>wait a second. The thread starter still hasnt said HOW the guy cheated. From what he posted, it just seems like he doesnt like the kid and is suspicious of a large jump in score (which, btw, is nothing out of the ordinary). That does NOT mean he cheated!</p>
<p>Seriously, how the hell do you cheat on the SATs? Why would you want to take such a risk?</p>
