If you take someone's test for them, then you won't have to worry about a place to live. The Feds will provide one for you.

Why don't you give "Cheating on ACT consequences" a google.

Sounds like if you get caught cheating not much happens except for your scores getting canceled. They don't even notify the schools you've applied to.

A couple quotes from different articles.

quote:

“We don’t tell schools or anyone else; we simply cancel the score,” ACT spokesman Ed Colby told the Los Angeles Times in 2008. “What we’re trying to do is make sure the scores that we send to colleges are valid. It’s not our intention to go around punishing students who make mistakes or who’ve done something they shouldn’t have done.”

-- Cancel the scores, which is not considered by the ACT or ETS as an admission of guilt. These organizations can also decide unilaterally to nullify scores and notify the student (who may then request arbitration from an independent party) as well as the schools that received the scores. But -- and this is a big but -- the schools aren't told why the scores were canceled.

A student can cheat and get caught. But the college or university that has accepted him or her won't find out from the ETS or the ACT.

In all likelihood, the students will simply retake the test with few consequences, the result of a little-known policy by the ACT and the College Board, which owns the rival SAT, to keep such irregularities confidential. Each year, millions of stressed-out students take the two tests, hoping a good score will secure them a spot at the nation's top colleges.
