<p>Before i dicuss this i would like you all to know i never did this and never plan on doing this. just wondering if you guys think collegeboard has taken any measures to prevent this. </p>
<p>lets say you only register for one SAT II test....cant you just keep it when the proctor collects the first test after the first hour and continue working on it???? they always make you raise your hand.....just dont raise it. In this process you would have two hours to take one of the tests instead of only 1..... your almost guaranteed a great score. </p>
<p>It seems relatively easy to perform this method because in my past experiences the proctors rarely walk around and if they do they dont really look at your answer sheet. I even watched them collect the answer documents and they dont look at the answer columns. </p>
<p>I think the College Board is relying on the strict proctors out there to catch cheating of this nature. Also, I doubt that having two hours instead of one for an SAT II could "guarantee a great score." It might fetch an 800 for someone who would otherwise score 720-760 or thereabouts, but the fact of the matter is that unless you know the material you're being tested on, it is impossible to score well, regardless of time. In any case, anyone who does happen to get caught can expect a satisfactory punishment.</p>
<p>It has been tried; I've heard of this happening in test centers.</p>
<p>However, if you are "clever" enough to come up with this strategem, you should be smart enough to just study and do well without worrying about running out of time.</p>
<p>has anyone read "Death of a Salesman" by Arthur Miller???
Does chating in society lead to success???? I rather say yes.... but knowing how to cheat is the key....</p>
<p>well, i'm no cheater.... but the real truth is like that...there are times in life in which the second choise is best....
what about all the rich people? do you consider them as angels?? never cheated??? they scape taxes everytime they can and noone can balme them because they have money all over the world....Mac? Microsoft? etc..? cheaters..... but that's the cruel reality......</p>
<p>Here's a problem with spending 2 hours on one Subject Test: When you finally turn in the test booklet the proctor will notice that you have completed one less test than you should have given the number of hours. Even if you get away with spending 2 hours on a test, there's almost no chance you won't get caught for having completed less tests than the number of hours you spent in the testing room. I wouldn't try this.</p>
<p>Not all rich people cheat. Some do certainly, just as some working-class or middle-class people cheat, but you might be surprised that the vast majority of the wealthy earned their money in legal and legitimate ways. The headlines in the news are the EXCEPTION rather than the rule, and you already know what happens when they get caught. The consequences for cheating when one is ultra-rich are far more severe than when one is simpy an "ordinary" citizen. And even if it were true that the rich do cheat, that should never be used as an excuse for cheating yourself.</p>
<p>One can certainly get away with cheating sometimes, but I believe that in one way or another, today or at a later time, one usually reaps the negative repercussions of his actions.</p>
<p>Cavalier07, simply (& quickly) fill in a second test sheet with random answers. (Of course, then you get an 800 and a 200 on the same test date... might not look too good... lol)</p>
<p>I'm sure that some wealthy people cheat on their taxes and such, but show me a statistic or study that indicates that the "cheat rate" is higher among the wealthy than the non-wealthy. What's more, cheating is a very poor way of actually building one's wealth (starting a business, investing, etc.). Customers are very unforgiving of any form of deception or cheating in business, and bulding a great, enduring company absolutely reqiures integrity and good business ethics. Companies such as Enron and Tyco are in ruins because of a lack of integrity in its executives.</p>
<p>Categorical beliefs and statements such as "all rich people cheat" or that being wealthy somehow necessarily involves compromising one's principles actually prevent one from ever becoming rich. Your subconscious simply will not allow you to.</p>
<p>Of course, the sad fact is that there is probably more cheating in the schools today than there was in, say, the 1950s. Many students somehow rationalize that if people such as the rich cheated their way to the top, they must as well.</p>
<p>no, students cheat more today because of the increasing competition and accesibility to education.
The world is getting much more complex every year and even the most educated are tempted to cheat.... and do so...</p>
<p>but the key, as i mentioned before, is to know how and when to cheat..... using your brain to be smarter than other people doesn't hurt anyone. The problem comes in when we hurt our surroundings and become a discusting person. </p>
<p>Remember..... "The truly educated never graduates"....</p>
<p>In a capitalistic society like America we are trained to cheat....do whatever you need to get ahead......dog eat dog....the grade matters, not how you got it.</p>
<p>The folks I know who got great scores on the SATII earned them by knowing the material & following the rules. Most proctors WILL catch cheating like that described & the penalties can be quite severe. The College Board does have a LOT of power & can surely make known to the relevant schools that cheating was attempted/occurred. Most of the proctors have a lot at stake in being sure tests are properly administered.
Don't know of any U that WANTS to admit any student that has a record of cheating.</p>
<p>Take note that if caught cheating, you will not be going to college. Instead you'll be sitting in a community college, after all your hard work...</p>
