1. It's cheating. At least 20% of schools are test optional now.
Going to test optional schools is a choice that is available to anyone who wants to go that route. My sense is people who cheat on their SAT's are trying to get into schools that the institutions think would not qualify. Cheating on the exam has nothing to do with feeling the test does not show anything about a student's ability to do the work.
