Planned cheating on the November SAT

<p>Two (sort of) friends of mine are planning to cheat on there November 2nd SAT subject tests, I only know one of them personally and heard about it because the other guy is the type to brag about this sort of thing.
Anyway my friend is fairly smart so I can see him getting 720-800s on the tests hes taking, while the other guy is just going to copy off him during these tests.
I am hesitant to try to report it because, I don't think its even possible. </p>

<p>I mean your not allowed to chose where you sit for subject tests are you?
Also even if they did manage, doesn't college board compare the results of people sitting near you for similar scoring patterns?</p>

<p>Ethically speaking, do you think it would be alright if I just did nothing?
I am thinking of doing this because they will probably be caught on there own, or may not even be able to do it because I am quite sure you don't chose where you sit, also I can't really report cheating before it happens.</p>

<p>he’s really only cheating himself. let him get high test scores and get into a good school. there, he will find himself to be inadequate and waste thousands of dollars because of a curriculum he just cannot keep up with. and yes CB does check for score patterns, if they find a discrepancy they invite the two to retake the same test separately and which ever gets caught with the lower score is labeled the cheater.</p>

<p>Dude, he gets into Harvard, walks out in a day. It’s ok, don’t worry about it. Reporting him will actually help him.</p>

<p>LOL Nice story. Whatever you decide to do, it will be interesting.</p>

<p>This plan will not work, even if they do manage to sit near each other in the testing room. This is because not all the students work on the same section at the same time. I know, because when I took the SAT, I finished early, and glanced at the test book of the student next to me to see if she was done, and realized that she was doing math, while I had done reading, and all the sections were different. So he can try putting the same answer choices, but if he does he will wind up with something close to a 200 on each section.</p>

<p>The college board has thought of more possibilities for cheating and gotten rid them than a student could come up with. You could warn your friend, or just let him do it and learn his lesson.</p>

<p>@Abbybabs We are talking about SAT subject tests here, everyone uses the same booklet and the tests are all the same.</p>
