Do I need to report I cheated on a test to college?

That makes sense. Definitely ask the school counselor then.

FWIW my older child received a detention for disrespectful behavior after putting her head down in class one day while the class was watching a video. I have no problem with the punishment, even though I consider it pretty strict since she wasn’t sleeping and didn’t receive a warning before getting written up. Nor do I think that would have kept her out of college if it had been reported. But I would have been upset if the school reported this on her school report and my honest interpretation of the question would be to reply “no” if she had been asked whether she had received a disciplinary action. I just don’t think this counts. Yes, it’s my interpretation but that is genuinely what I believe.
