Idea for Only Reporting Highest Single Sitting

<p>I know that that the collegeboard score report includes all of one's test sittings, and I did really bad on the October SAT. Would it work if I just make a new collegeboard account to register for a future retake as to not show my October score? Thanks!</p>

<p>....interesting idea but kinda lame man. I got a 1560 on my March SAT, and you dont see me freaking out</p>

<p>wouldnt work... if you make a new account and they see the same address+birthdate as another account, they wont let you make it. So you'd have to lie about all three</p>

<p>No, they won't let you. Somehow they can tell that two accounts are the same person and you can only register for SAT's through your first account. I have 2 accounts (for some unknown reason) and I can't register for SAT's on my second account. I had to call collegeboard to ask for the first account's username since I didn't even know I had another one.</p>

<p>Collegeboard allows changing of birthdate and address on its website. Has anyone tried this before?</p>

<p>Spending more time on improving your scores and less time on figuring out how to cheat the system would be of much greater benefit in the long run</p>

<p>P.S. I know people who actually did "cheat the system" a long time ago, but I can also tell you that everything they did is impossible under collegeboard's new rules. I can also tell you that most of these people didn't benefit from their cheating. I know of only one who actually got into a better college (and was able to graduate from it) as a result. </p>

<p>Most of the others either:
(1) Still couldn't get into the college they wanted
(2) Were unable to get the grades in the colleges they did get into and flunked out as a result (and I'm talking people who got into Caltech and Pomona), or
(3) Did so poorly in the college they got into that they were forced to transfer to a weaker school so they could get passing grades and eventually graduate (one person went from majoring in Physics at Pomona to majoring in French Literature at San Diego State so she could graduate--and I don't know if she actually graduated or not).</p>

<p>By the way, for those who want to know why I didn't report these people, I should let you know that the situation that arose was one that I found out about (from the culprits themselves) about two years after the event--and for which I had no proof other than what they told me personally. Mostly they talked about it because they were so upset that they couldn't handle the workload at their "better" school and were flunking out. One even had a nervous breakdown at their school (at Caltech) and ended up in the hospital. In my view, that was punishment enough. </p>

<p>Also, I should mention that was the last time I talked to any of them. I went out of my way to avoid them from then on.</p>

<p>Obviously not a good idea to try to finagle your way to a better score - far better idea to concentrate on your studies. One more pertinent point - don't you need your social security number both to create and establish your CB identity/account?</p>

<p>Social security number is not required; some people don't even have one. College admissions offices swear that they look only at your best score. Cheating is not only wrong, but unnecessary.</p>
