<p>So today during the break, I went to the bathroom and was shocked to see three guys standing in the middle of the room, looking up vocab words on their phones. Presumably, they also went back and changed them while the proctor wasn't looking.
I probably should have said something right away, but I didn't really know what to say, and just gave them a dirty look before leaving.
What would you guys do/have done in a situation like this? Idk if reporting them would help at all, because I don't have any way to prove my allegation, and there are three of them vs one of me.</p>
<p>report them. Im not gonna let them take my spot for college because they cheated, are you?</p>
<p>eventually itll catch up with them and theyll get caught cheating somewhere else for something different</p>
<p>I don’t think there is much you can do, because you’re right—it’s your word against their word. But karma will get them someday. You can’t get away with cheating forever.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t bother reporting them. Proximity to a cheating puts your test scores at risk too.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t waste my time on this, there’s no way to prove it and do you even know their names?</p>
<p>Honestly, it’s not worth it. There is no hard evidence they cheated besides your word, and honestly, the same sort of cheating goes on in probably EVERY test center at least once, whether it be looking up words on phones or discussing questions during breaks. CB probably gets so many of these “reports” that they really don’t serve any purpose. I’m sure proctors know kids cheat, like looking at other students’ test but they dont say anything.</p>
<p>hey what are the kids names</p>
<p>and what city?</p>
<p>because i witnessed the same thing</p>
<p>Your word against theirs. Anyway, just let them get into a college they don’t deserve to go to…trust me it’ll catch up to them.</p>
<p>^ like i said, the same thing happens in probably 80%, if not more, of test centers.</p>
<p>Many people cheat. Probably 90% of the kids in my room flipped back to work on previous sections. The guy next to me didn’t even care about the times. He finished the entire book and went back to complete his essay.</p>
<p>Point is, it’s too easy to cheat on the SAT and I’m not going to waste my time worrying about other people. In the end, it’s your score that counts. And anyways, looking up vocab words could increase your score by what? If those guys felt the need to look it up on their phones, they probably aren’t doing so well in the latter portion of the CR section.</p>
<p>It’ll balance out. I highly doubt these cheaters are going to jump from a 1500 to a 2300.</p>
