There is no such thing as things being "fair." Look, I was born with all the advantages, being smart, being rich, having successful loving parents. I've used that to the best of my ability and some of you might not have that stuff, but I do. I was also born with the ability to work hard and to concentrate. I got a 1550 on my SATs. I use what I have and you should use what you have too. If I weren't so fucken brilliant, I would've cheated on the SATs with no moral qualms (I still cheated, but not as much.) Look, SATs isn't about fairness. It's about who has the highest score, so for all those people who are stupid enough to take it without cheating, I'm going to laugh at you right about now. We all know SATs don't prove how "smart" you are. They are only a way to get into college, so don't get all high and mighty with the morality issues here. So you studied. That's cause you're a dumb bumblefuck.

just to •••• someone off I will make this comment:

"Sir, your english grammar is incorrect, I strongy advise you use 'Look, the SAT's aren't about fairness.' instead of 'Look, the SAT's isn't about fairness.'. Sir, as an English teacher I am deeply insulted by your lack of knowledge in English. I would like a 10-page paper regarding the invention of the apple-peeler on my desk tommorrow."

Steve just curious, how in the hell can you cheat on the SAT's? I'm taking all AP courses, one teacher came up with the idea to give multple test/quiz forums. Such as when we have a Calc Test, there is form A, B, C, D, E. It's like this in every AP course in my school, as well as for many honors level. They make it impossible to cheat, if they suspect you discovered a way however they make you retake a special test form after school which no student has taken. If you refuse too they give you a 0 for a test grade. Since tests are counted 40/50% of your quarter grade, a 0 basically will destroy an average.

Point I'm making is if the collegeboard suspects many are cheating. They may create several forms of the test for future test takers to make it impossible. I've heard with the revamped test form in 2005 there atleast "considering" it. Will they make this the policy? I believe its unlikely for now but can't rule it out.

But how do you cheat on an SAT? Looking on someone elses paper is an option, but who's to say they know what there doing? I know of people with 4.0+ GPA's, AP/Honors Courses round the board! And they can barely pull an average level score.

There are a billion ways if your proctor lets you take a break. If he doesn't, it's a bit harder, but you can at the very least spend more time than you're allowed to on each section. Also, consider turning your phone on vibrate and messaging your friends or having your friends message you. If he comes over, just turn the page as if you were turning the page. Memorize each question and go back. Try to write down the question if you need to. Pass a slip of paper across with a word you don't know and ask someone who does. Pay people to take it for you that look like you. Passports from when you were a baby help. Share calculators. It depends on the rigor of the proctors, but mostly, just see holes in the system. There are bound to be some. Pass a lead pencil with the answers inside if worse comes to worse. You could also always pay someone to leave the testing room with a copy of the SATs and then have them get their score disqualified and have them give you the answers via phone. (This works well cause people of any age can take the SATs.) Tell me about your personal circumstances, and I'll help you cheat on it. No problem.
I, personally, did not cheat on the SATs, but I think the SATs are evil in their attempts to objectify people. The SATs actually did me a lot of good in terms of college acceptance, with a 92 average and a 1550 SAT. I didn't cheat cause well ... I knew I would've done well anyway, but you can easily cheat. Let's face it. If you're going to get a 1000 anyway, what do you risk by cheating?

You can also ask people to take it (if they let you take papers out of the room) just to copy down the questions and pay them a hundred or so dollars per test. It's easy and wonderful to cheat on the SATs
