<p>Whaaa?</p>
<p>Trying to confirm that you had the right answer after you're done in a next section is cheating?!</p>
<p>I mean, if I write a poem at the end of my math section, you might as well call it work for the writing section.</p>

<p>The SAT Web Registration Agreement says:
[quote]
Misconduct. When ETS or test center personnel find that there is misconduct in connection with a test, the test-taker may be dismissed from the test center, or ETS may decline to score the test or cancel the test score. Repeated minor infractions may result in score cancellation. Misconduct includes, but is not limited to, [...] referring to, looking through, or working on any test, or test section, other than during the testing period for that test or test section

<p>While you didn't change your answers, you DID work on another section. What you did doesn't necessarily hurt other test takers, but it is against the rules- and, if you get caught, you would be considered to have cheated on the SAT.</p>

<p>But I didn't <em>turn</em> to another section on either the booklet or the answer sheet. I simply wrote the problems from memory ... how is that working on another section? Like, what if I had written random calculus problems instead? That would be interpreted as working on the math section regardless?</p>
<p>Galoisien, the line here is pretty clear. If you work on a problem you remember from a previous math section, you're cheating. During the CR sections, you are not allowed to work on W or M sections. If you wrote a random calculus problem, you would not be working on a problem from a different section; you would just be doing some arbitrary math. If you write a poem, that's also obviously not part of a different section of the test. It's really not that complicated. You can work on a problem without turning to its page to look at it. That's still cheating, though, and you shouldn't try to convince yourself otherwise.</p>
<p>Well, agh then.</p>
<p>What do they expect us to be thinking when we have 5 minutes at the end of a section? Does no one find it reflexive to write whatever's preoccupying our minds, which may be, "hey question that was interesting, I wonder what are the full ramifications of it?" </p>
<p>The hexagon problem for example, stayed in the back of my mind for a long time, and for a long time I didn't doodle anything but hexagons.</p>
<p>You know what else I did? Ok, I ran out of time when trying to finish the maths grid-ins....I think I had 2 left, but I remembered the questions very well. Well, after that maths, we had a 5 minute break, so I took my calculator to the toilet, and worked it out, and when I came back, I had Writing , but I quickly gridded in my answers before moving on (took about 30s).</p>
<p>................</p>
<p>I have nothing to say.</p>
<p>ya do watcha gotta do~</p>
<p>beginning to think of it i didn't even have time to think of attempting to cheat...
besides..
firstly its ethically wrong.
secondly its just not worth the attempt.</p>
<p>I thought no one sees your test booklet after your done with the test? Its disposed, and recycled, so the cb never sees inside your test booklet. So should there be an issue? Becaise like galosein I also worked a math problem out on paper, just because I am stubborn like that with math and couldn't get it out of my head, will it have an effect? </p>
<p>Now I'm worried
Oh, and, I know I will be accused of cheating here, but more than 90% of everyone here has at least thought of it. I mean, its not like I went back to the section. I was working on another section during a different section.
Any thoughts?</p>
<p>No, the test booklets are returned to College Board for a while so that dubious cases can be investigated. As I wrote in another thread with the same original poster, I have read of at least one case where the test booklet was checked for fingerprints when it was suspected that the test-taker hired a substitute to take his test for him. (His scores were never released to colleges, even when he sued to have them released, because he could never prove that he was really the guy who took the test. His fingerprints were not found on the test booklet.) </p>
<p>Do the right thing, all day and every day, and you will have nothing of this nature to be scared about.</p>
<p>So tokenadult</p>
<p>Are you saying I should be scared, and expect to get my scores canceled? Why would cb have any suspicions about my test booklet out of everyone. Sure, I may end up improving 600 pts from the last time I took it, but should I be alarmed?</p>
<p>Wait! What if my test is flagged? Will they check the test booklet? I didn't cheat, I was only working out a problem, what am I going to do? Please someone tell me something?!?!?!?</p>
<p>Someone! I am scared ****less right now...</p>
<p>I once knew a guy who had an electronic pocket dictionary. He wrote down a word in the answer sheet, checked the definition during a bathroom break in a stall, and bubbled the correct answer (he remembered the question and he was really just stuck between 2 answer choices). sly? I'm not telling you who it is. He ended up getting a perfect on the reading.</p>
<p>I am sure CB is currently very interested in this thread.</p>
<p>Galoisein, aren't you worried? We did the same thing...</p>
<p>I am worried, but I am also appalled at some of the posters in this thread ...</p>
<p>Whats the worst that can happen?</p>
