I proctored SATs (by way of comparison) up until last year. The list of rules & procedures just for test day grew every year. They all sounded incredibly stupid--until you found out each was in response to actual incidents of cheating.
No bottled water allowed in the test room, even without a label--because some young deviant geniuses figured out a way to cheat using just a bottle of water! National testing is its own universe.
For fan comfort, odds are after his injury Preston focused more on studies. Taking a big test is, in itself, a test. After the first, nerve-wracking exam, if he approached it like an athlete and improved his test taking skills, then he could have improved a good bit. The worst thing about this scenario is the increased pressure on him to perform this time because so much is on the line.
But what if he did cheat somehow? Well, that's a major character issue, and it wouldn't stay confined to one little area of his life. Character defects are a time bomb I'd rather see defused or disposed of now rather than after he's become part of the game plan.
I guess it's like everything else we analyze and worry over in the off-season... just have to wait and see.
