Should I do it?

I’m sure there were people who worked hard and put in time and effort in preparation for the AP Exam. Even if I’ll probably be a little sad if my score will end up disqualified, I don’t want a lot of us (I saw a lot of water bottles) to get our exam scores disqualified.

But then again, integrity, honesty, and also rules agreed to being rules agreed to right?

Under “Exam Security” under “In Case of Security Breach,”

it says “If you discover or suspect any issues related to the security of your school’s exams, call the ETS Office of Testing Integrity (OTI) immediately.”

You don't make it clear whether or not you took bottled water into the exam room against exam security rules.

Hey guys, adding on my post,
I wanna go to sleep,
So I won’t go too in depth with this message
But I should probably ask about this, or else I’ll have a hard time sleeping tonight and my conscience will be bothers if I don’t ask.
Maybe someone will answer while I’m asleep.
So I found this earlier today.
https://www.reddit.com/r/APStudents/comments/8nxx5g Should I report this to the Office of Testing Integrity?
Basically I doubt it’d accomplish much.
There’s a deleted reddit user talking about anecdotal stuff, maybe the OTI would do some tracking stuff?
I don’t know man.

You don't make it clear whether or not you took bottled water into the exam room against exam security rules.

huh

I have no idea what you should do.

why dont you just wait for the exam result like everyone else.

if you took a sip of water in your break and then went back and did your exam thats fine.
if people took, water bottles in, then they must have got permission from the proctor to do so. dont worry about them. You are not the proctor. They didnt need to ask YOU.

for 200 bitcoin ill make sure you pass.

Let's see what Jesus might suggest:

One Sabbath he was going through the grainfields, and as they made their way, his disciples began to pluck heads of grain. And the Pharisees were saying to him, “Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?” And he said to them, “Have you never read what David did, when he was in need and was hungry, he and those who were with him: how he entered the house of God, in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those who were with him?” And he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

If a man is thirsty, let him drink.

I’m pray that you do well

Hello everyone,

I have a question to ask as to whether or not I should do something.

I would like to provide the following

1) context
2) information
3) my question

(I’ll have more than this I think, but it’s the basic framework (if that’s the right word) I guess.

I would also like to explain things in a simple manner (my apologies if it comes off as so blunt to the point where it’s condescending)

I doubt my whole post is explained simply, but anyway,

Today I took an exam.
The test was an AP Exam.
AP is a trademark and program by the CollegeBoard.
The CollegeBoard basically is like a big(ish) organization
(They’re the ones who make and administer the SAT).

Oversimplified, but true, the examination went like this:

1) section 1
2) break time
3) section 2

Today during testing, I saw water bottles out.

According to “May I bring something to eat or drink on exam day?”
“You are not permitted to bring food or drink, including bottled water, into the exam room (unless approved as an accommodation by College Board’s Services for Students with Disabilities office). During the 10-minute break between Sections 1 and 2 of the exam, with the proctor’s permission, you can leave the exam room to get a drink of water or a snack”

According to section 1a, part iii, of the AP Exam Terms and Conditions,
We may not bring to the test prohibited items, and
“Food or drink” are prohibited items.

Now, the issue, of course, is about cheating, as opposed to rules themselves. I don’t want to be a legalist here,
but we all (I’m assuming all the people in the room taking the exam did so) signed testing documents in which I believe at least one of the documents had us agree to the terms and conditions (I don’t think the terms and conditions were listed, but I think reading beforehand the terms and conditions is mentioned somewhere on the CollegeBoard website at least).

I’m sure there were people who worked hard and put in time and effort in preparation for the AP Exam. Even if I’ll probably be a little sad if my score will end up disqualified, I don’t want a lot of us (I saw a lot of water bottles) to get our exam scores disqualified.

But then again, integrity, honesty, and also rules agreed to being rules agreed to right?

Under “Exam Security” under “In Case of Security Breach,”

it says “If you discover or suspect any issues related to the security of your school’s exams, call the ETS Office of Testing Integrity (OTI) immediately.”

There’s more I’m concerned with but maybe I should leave it here for now.

Anyway, what do you guys think I should do?

Do your best to get the highest score possible and don't worry so much if someone brought an unauthorized bottle of water to the exam room.

Also, maybe read my message above yours

Say a prayer for God to help you to maximize your score.

The score for my next AP Exam or my score for the one I took yesterday? 😅

You can't change the score from yesterday so I would focus on the task at hand which is the next exam.

Thanks for responding Tourist!
