I’d be careful. Cheating implies an intentional integrity violation. From your description, and why would you lie on an anonymous discussion group, it sounds like you just misunderstood the rules or didn’t read what @bodangles just wrote, or didn’t notice where one section stopped and another one started.

ETS has no way of discerning the difference, so either one ought to result in your scores being cancelled. I’m not sure what other sanctions ETS has, but it might not hurt to write a letter describing what you described in your OP.
