Scenario 1 Alex, a high school junior, has always been a diligent student, consistently achieving high grades. However, this year, Alex has been struggling to keep up with the increased academic demands and extracurricular activities. Alex’s parents have high expectations and frequently remind Alex of the importance of maintaining a top GPA to secure a scholarship for college.   During a crucial midterm exam in their Advanced Placement (AP) Biology class, Alex was caught using a cheat sheet hidden in their sleeve.
