Can I Respond "No" to "Have you taken the SAT Essay before?"

Are you seriously asking whether you can lie? Do you expect any of the adults on this site to give you our blessing?

And, in this computer age, why on earth would you assume that “they’ll never know”?? You’ve got to realize that you’re not the first teenager they’ve ever dealt with before.
