<p>I am taking both Math II C and chemistry on saturday. So far I’ve devoted all of my preparation to chem because I am much less confident in it. Now I’m realizing that the time is near… yet I have more chem to do. So i was wondering if this is plausible:</p>
<li>Take the SAT chem first</li>
<li>Take the SAT Math II.<br></li>
<li>If i think i did poorly on it, inconspicuously take a battery out of my calculator and hide it in my pocket.<br></li>
<li> Then talk to the administrator and plead to have your score for ONLY math canceled because you “had a calculator malfunction”.<br></li>
</ol>
<p>They do allow you to cancel only one score from multiple tests if you had a calculator malfunction, right? Could this work?</p>
<p>If your proctor sees you using the calculator and afterwards finds your battery missing, he is going to know that you took it out lol…i wouldnt depend on cheating your way through i would just take it if your ready and if not, wait till next time.</p>
<p>lol i know this sounds ridiculous but what if I bring a bad battery to replace it? lol but you are right, it’s just that I’m about to be a senior, i am hoping to apply early, and I am taking SAT I in october.<br>
Are subject tests other than language w/ listening offered in november? my third test is going to be french with listening, so could i retake math then?
Also if i get a 720 on math now, and an 800 on math then, do colleges look down upon that at all or would it be smart?</p>
<p>i dont think it would be too smart, because if you know ur going to retake it and get an 800 y bother taking it now to get a 720…but i got an idea that might work (better then battery solution :P)…you could make it screen really really dim so it would seem like there is nothing on it.</p>
<p>Don’t cheat your way out of it. Just do your best. Let whatever may happen, happen. You’ll feel better about yourself at least knowing that you were honest about it.</p>
<p>Wow… that is a good idea… (Not trying to encourage you)… Idk about it honestly though, but it’ll probably work if you do it… </p>
<p>But i would advise against doing it… If you’bve been a good student all your life, and suddenly you cheat, it’s gonna bug you alot during the SAT. You’re gonna be really distracted and you need to be totally focused during the exam.</p>
<p>Get a low score that pretty much kills you in terms of elite college admissions lol. But I agree with the above posters - it wouldn’t really be in your favor to cheat.</p>
