a cheater??

I have a question...

During the May SATs, I sat next to a kid who was in resource room, not a very bright kid (by no means a complete stupid kid) but one who most certainly was not expecting over a 2000 on the SATs. It turns out he had the same test format as me, and after the test he was bragging to his friends that he cheated off of me -- I also noticed him during the test looking over at my test. It's pretty much KNOWN that he cheated off of me.

What do I do? I don't like being a tattle-tale, nor do I want to be a tattle-tale. Should I just let it blow over? Or tell someone?

there's some phone number/e-mail address to call on the colegeboard's site, and i think if the kid is dumb enough to brag about it, you shouldn't feel bad about telling someone.
I mean it's not like you're jumping to any conclusions about him, he admits doing it.

Yes -- no fun to be a tattle-tale (spelling? lol), but I agree with whoever said IF HES DUMB ENOUGH TO BRAG ABOUT IT, HE DESERVES IT.

Don't feel bad at all.

Btw, what do you mean by "During the May SATs, I sat next to a kid who was in resource room"

What's "resource room"?

Definetely report him... it'll probably work.

Since we're on the subject, does anyone know much about the process?

Like, what happens if I call CB and talk about how all the kids I hate were cheating on the test?

(just a thought)

What do they do in investigating?

report him, he deserves it. what he did is completely unethical and you shouldnt be worried about being a tattle-tale.

I noticed that someone was cheating off of me... but i didn't turn him in, for fear that they would accuse me of cheating, and not count my score-- and i thought i did really well... :-/
