<p>I wrote that quickly…and didn’t check it.</p>
<p>I meant to say “you will ever dream of yours being”, but shortened it.</p>
<p>
I have. Then I matured.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What? Are you kidding me? I don’t know, maybe because cheating is an unfair advantage that doesn’t represent who you truly are?</p>
<p>How do you define a “fair” advantage then? Is being born into better circumstances or being inherently more intelligent a “fair” advantage? And if you tend to be unscrupulous in your attempts to “get ahead,” then your score does represent your character. How much do you really value a true representation of oneself, anyway? Almost every person I know who wants to attend a competitive college (including myself) has taken a class he/she didn’t particularly care for in order to polish his/her credentials. For some people, this even extends to joining clubs they don’t have any strong interest in. Is this representative of their true selves and their true passions? No – they are being dishonest. But it’s a dishonest world, so I don’t reserve any particular repugnance for those who cheat on tests.</p>
<p>how do you cheat on an SAT?</p>
<p>You have a person staring at you for the whole section</p>
<p>omg flamez war start!</p>
<p>but seriously all cheating is is survival of the fittest. The SAT is like the jungle.
You do what you have to to survive. You only think of yourself. If your not as smart, then you must find some other way of getting the same score. Some cheat, others study hard. That is the game of life. You play to win</p>
<p>Some people take it in a crowded cafeteria or gymnasium in which there are over 100 people; not all of them are closely monitored. When you think about it, what incentive does a proctor really have to discourage cheating? He’s not going to get paid more if he does.</p>
<p>but what if a bunch of studies report someone for cheating? Then it makes it look bad for him/her</p>
<p>Perhaps, but that doesn’t tend to happen; proctors aren’t getting paid enough to administer a 3-hour test to make them care. And when was the last time you heard of a student filing a formal report against another for cheating?</p>
<p>…Proctors get paid?! </p>
<p>Begoner, I like you. </p>
<p>
That summarizes my attitude, as well.</p>
<p>The boy next to me (who is a Senior with a basketball scholarship- why is he taking the SAT again? who knows) slept through the essay and filled in only a few bubbles for each section. My friend said he took the SAT in May with her. LOL</p>
<p>proctors do not get paid at all…they are usually volunteers or in the case of one of the ones I had - “my wife volunteered me for this thing”</p>
<p>Our class told our proctor that it sucks he has to show up in June and he told us that he’s getting paid to do it.</p>
