Re: taking someones SATs for them, for a fee
Why would anyone want someone else to take an SAT for them? If they can get a certain score to get into specific college, they are definitely not ready to BE in that specific college and will just fail out anyways.

they're also not dumb about this kind of thing. if they think something's suspicious they can ask for retakes and compare the scores or maybe even investigate the handwriting.

Not remotely true.
The SAT is almost meaningless. If you were caught, you are not talking big criminal offense here---you are talking about ETS invalidating his scores. And ETS are [censored] anyway.

Re: taking someones SATs for them, for a fee
While I don't condone this behavior, one thing to consider is if the person has previously taken the SAT. If they notice an extreme score jump (maybe like > 300 points) over a short period of time, they do some investigation such as checking out the seating chart of the person, etc...
Also, I think the new writing portion contains an essay so handwriting will be a factor here.

Re: taking someones SATs for them, for a fee
The problem is that it's high school. Kids run their mouth and tell everybody else.
My friend and i got very high SAT scores and some kid in our grade approached each of us and offered about 10k to take the test for him. IMO it was easy to turn down, just the chance that somebody finds out about this makes the entire thing -EV. Your main concern should be who he is going to tell and how he is going to get you the $. What are you gonna say if he doesn't pay you?

Re: taking someones SATs for them, for a fee
Clearly you have to get the money up front. Depending on his situation he should just cheat on the test himself.
I was recruited to play baseball at Dartmouth but my SAT was about 50 points under where I would get in easily (with the coach's help of course). So since they took the best composite score I totally focused on math one test then took it again and totally focused on verbal, with cheating in the fact that I fliped back to previous sections. The result was a composite score 150 points over my best one time score.
