Trump cheated on his SATs by paying someone to take it for him, according to Mary Trump's new book

7. Was extremely easy to take somebody else's SAT for them even in the early 90's

ID check in the exam room was a joke. The way most people who did this got caught was through the signature match - most high schoolers didn't understand that a signature match would be applied, especially if your score went up by more than expected for a second test, or was exceptionally high in the first place. I know three people who paid to have the SAT taken for them, and they all were disqualified for signature match - this was 1990-1992.

I'd expect it was even easier and more common in the mid-to-late 1960s, especially with the draft and Vietnam. Understand that having somebody take SATs for you is another form of draft evasion - if he could not have gotten into Fordham (not a particularly high bar), he might have been out everywhere, and there goes his draft exemption.
