Cheating

In all cases, cheating is bad for all parties involved. For the teacher, it demeans, undermines and misrepresents them. For the student, it takes away knowledge, which is key to success. To cheat on a standardized test is perhaps worst of all. Not only does it put the scores of other test takers at jeopardy, it is basically lying to the hundreds of colleges who see the scores, teachers, your parents, and most importantly yourself. Nothing is to be gained by cheating. It's worse than a last resort.
