This is my question - is cheating on the SAT illegal?
I know it will get you disqualified on your college app, but is it a crime?
Not rhetorical question - I really don't know and am asking.
I know bribery is a crime, but the kids weren't the ones making a bribe.

Cheating on a SAT is not illegal in itself, but if you use the fake scores in an application for something valuable (such as a job or a position somewhere) then it becomes fraud, and that is illegal.
It sort of the same as pretending that you are richer than you really are. That is not a crime. But it becomes a crime when you use your pretend wealth to secure a loan from a bank.
