Is this possible to do on the Sat II's?

I'm taking the SAT II's this saturday and just started studying for the Math IIc today I heard from a friend that some people purposely sign up for 2 subject tests and b.s. one of the tests and use the time given for both tests for just one of the tests so that they will be able to finish it. So if I sign up for bio and math IIc, can I randomly bubble in answers for bio quickly and then move onto math IIc and take the time for both tests (2 hours) to finish the math 2c? I already took the bio subject test after taking AP biology and don't really think I can improve my score on saturday so I am willing to b.s. it. If I get a lenient proctor that doesn't walk around checking tables every 5 minutes, will I be able to do this?

hmmmm the rules r rules. but u can try. If u really get a lenient proctor that doesn't walk around checking students then there's no harm in trying. But that's still cheating hehe. if u really wanna do that then just don't get caught cause if u do , then all the test scores u got would be screwed hehe

That's actually an excellent idea! I wish I would have thought of that, my scores really sucked. But then again there's always karma to consider....

Uh that's blatant cheating and is a terrible idea. You shouldn't do that, no matter how lenient your proctor is.

colleges will figure it out. Even w/ score choice, you have to send all scores from a single sitting, so they will either think you bombed one SATII or they will figure out that you cheated.

Sure, you could do that, and therefore prove that you don't belong in college.

If you don't feel prepared for the test, don't take it. Show some maturity and integrity and do the right thing, and here's a hint for you: the right thing is not cheating.

Honestly, cheating is an incredibly stupid idea.

You're essentially asking us whether you're able to cheat. The answer is yes; but don't.

Sure, it's absolutely possible, from a technical stand point.

Personally, I could never do it, but that's just because I have to cope with integrity. If you're less hindered than I am, go for it!

But you should probably check with the folks over at College Board, just to be safe. You might not get a response in time for your test, so maybe you should just ask after you've used the method. That way, they'll be able to share this inspiring method with others and already have proof of whether or not it works! Genius!

This is a brilliant idea and you should tell CollegeBoard so they can make sure everyone knows about it.

Do it. Then when you get caught and all your applications get cancelled we'll have one less person to compete against. *thumbs up*
