<p>OP- Bust him. It's obvious this is bothering you; busting him will make you feel better. I have busted cheaters in the past. What he did IS wrong, and it is your duty to be sure he is caught. </p>
<p>On another note:</p>
<p>"2. See, but there are 100,000 bank accounts. 1 dollar from each bank account isn't going to make a difference right? And robbing bank doesn't really hurt others. It's not dangerous or stressful, as long as if they cooperate. Everything can work out nicely."</p>
<p>This reminds me of Office Space. Anyone know what I mean?</p>
<p>I think all posts saying you shouldn't bust him are just dumb. He will most likely take the spot in college of a person who deserves it without cheating. Bust him!!!!</p>
<p>Wow....ur All A Bunch Of Little Pussys....just Let It Go...he Found A Looppole In The System....ur All Just Jealous Because U Didnt Have The Balls To Try It....goddamn, Ur All A Bunch Of Little Faggots</p>
<p>I agree with The Brian. Life is too short to be worrying about other people's scores. Spend some time doing something productive, like worrying about your own scores. Even if that person gets caught, what do you gain? I can undestand that if he is someone you hate, and if he gets caught (highly unlikely given the lack of evidence), then you might gain some satisfaction. But if I were you, I'd just drop the whole issue. There is no point pursuing something that won't be benfeficial to you at all.</p>
<p>I noticed that some people here are saying that the cheater might take the spot of someone else, whom you don't even know, and that the OP should care? Wow, you guys are nicer than I thought, caring so much about a person you don't know.</p>
<p>Let's put it this way. If you heard that someone was going to bomb 50,000 innocent people in some province of China (or wherever else you don't have friends). Would you report them to the police? Would you help strangers?</p>
<p>Oh yeah, and by the way, the cheater could take <em>your</em> spot in the college...</p>
<p>usually, what's the punishment for these kind of things? do you just have to retake the test? or is it stuff like suspension if the school finds out</p>
<p>You'd tell the College Board. They have to have provisions in place for this. Even though the person reporting doesn't have concrete evidence, College Board cannot ignore it. I don't know what specifically they'll do.</p>
<p>How could it not be possible to report it?</p>
<p>The punishment would probably be cancellation of scores at the very least, with possible further consequences like informing colleges that the scores were sent to, informing the cheater's high school, etc.</p>
<p>I have to weigh in here. Just read this entire thread from start to finish, and can't believe the comments from those who think this jerk should not be reported. Godot is right on...cheating starts somewhere and unless it's ended early, it leads to a whole lot more cheating with more dire consequences (ask all the people Ken Lay bankrupted how they feel, and I guarantee you, his dying of a heart attack wasn't the justice they were looking for).</p>
<p>The guy is bragging to anyone who'll listen that he cheated, so he truly deserves to get busted. If a teacher heard him say that, s/he would be obligated to report it. And of course he is not going to find out who reported him. It shouldn't even be a concern since he's told everyone.</p>
<p>Some colleges have an honor code that is pretty intense (check out UVa for one). If you become aware of cheating and don't report it, and they find out, you get in trouble as well. It's that important.</p>
<p>And YES, The Brian, not reporting cheating and telling everyone to look the other way IS condoning it. That is precisely what that means.</p>
<p>I can tell you guys a few things that might surprise you:</p>
<ul>
<li>I know of several people at Columbia, bright kids who come from poor backgrounds, who have been hired by rich parents here in manhattan to take the SATs for their dumbass kids.</li>
<li>The parents buy fake IDs for the columbia kids, with their kids' names on it.</li>
<li>The going rate is $3000-5000.</li>
</ul>
<p>There is no risk to the Columbia students other than getting paid, they don't look so old that they can't be HS students. It's the cheater taking all the risks, of having an irregularity report sent to his application schools... unlike the LSAT, they don't take your fingerprint at the SATs. The student being paid can walk out of the room without a trace.</p>
<p>I know one person who has done this personally, and know of another. They defend it as using their marketable skills to get hard-to-come-by money, for the price of only a single saturday morning. Speaking for myself, I was offered the opportunity to take the Calc, Physics, and US History SAT2's for $5K, and to a student who eats pizza and waits in line for half price tickets, that's extraordinarily tempting.</p>
<p>The morality of taking one spot in a college admissions class away from someone more deserving in favor of someone with more money and connections does not seem to bother the other kids I know of. It bothered me too much for me to accept the offer, however.</p>
<p>people "cheat" all the time (i personally feel as if i did not deserve my score if i cheat). Think about insider trading...sure you can make a lot of money short term, but in the long run you could get caught. </p>
<p>What about the disadvantage poor people have, its almost as if the wealthy are cheating them out of their spots (would not get the score if not for the extensive tutoring etc). </p>
<p>I would not have reported the kid, lucky for him, he got away with it. If you are so envious of his score, why dont you do the same thing?</p>
