Is this legal or considered cheating?

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation
1

<p>Let's say, you sign up to take 2 subject tests. On the test day, after having completed one subject test, you move on to the other. However, in mid-test you realize you're not exactly well prepared for the second test and decide to erase all your answers. So the answer booklet you hand in eventually only has 1 test completed, even though you originally signed up for two.</p>

<p>Of course, you're never going to get your registration fee back, but will the second test be graded even when all the bubbles are left blank?</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure you bubble in which test you’re taking. I might be wrong, but if there is no bubble there, the corresponding test section shouldn’t be graded.</p>

<p>^ Ah thanks. So as long as I don’t bubble in which test I’m taking, no score should show up for the section. But what then is the point of indicating which tests you’re gonna take when you sign up on the website?</p>

<p>There’s really no point in choosing tests before because you can change your tests on test day anyway.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure you shouldn’t just erase your answers though. If I recall correctly, the proctor said something along the lines of if you take a test and erase all your answers all your scores will be cancelled. To others - please do correct me if I am wrong.</p>

<p>I just found this: </p>

<p><a href=“College Board Will No Longer Offer SAT Subject Tests or SAT with Essay – College Board Blog”>http://professionals.collegeboard.com/testing/sat-subject/scores/cancel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>“If a student begins taking a test and decides that she is not ready for it, she can cancel the test scores before leaving the test center. Students should not try to erase all answers to a test. Although erasure of all answers is interpreted as a request to cancel scores, if the scanning equipment reads some of the answers, the test scores may not be canceled.”</p>

<p>But if I leave my answer sheet blank and mark my answers on the question booklet (to gauge how many questions I can/cannot answer) and eventually decide not to transcribe it to the bubbles, that doesn’t count as “erasing the answers”, correct?</p>

<p>idk I feel I’d better spend my time reviewing extensively for Chemistry than split my studying to accommodate for USH as well, especially when most colleges only require/recommend 2 subject tests (sans Georgetown, but I’m not applying there), and because I’m most likely going to apply to the engineering schools anyway. But then I’ll be also reviewing SOME USH, too, for the AP (11 days after the SAT), but I don’t feel like studying too much for the SAT USH. </p>

<p>Don’t worry. You can cancel the test at the center or even the score right after the test.</p>

7

<p>^But I don’t want to cancel both tests. When you request to cancel, you cancel all tests taken that date.</p>

8

<p>You don’t even need to cancel the score as you can most likely do score choice for SAT2 even for schools that want all scores.</p>
