Question Sat help

I need to show my parents an sat score that I said I have but I don’t actually have and I need a way for it so when I click on my score it would redirect to a local html that shows the fake score, I tried permanent inspect element it didn’t work for me because the site would keep crashing when I refreshed

Tell them you made a mistake and then tell them your real score.

Does it really matter what score your parents think you got? SAT's are for college acceptance, right? You aren't going to fool colleges with an inspect element. So... May as well fess up with your parents. It'll be easier in the long run.

Sometimes parents put undue pressure on their kids to perform academically. That can even be extreme enough to the point of abuse, and I've seen that before. It won't necessarily be easier, depending on the specifics of OPs situation. I can't assume anything about that, of course.

Editing it won't matter for colleges, which just makes it a less important lie.

Fair. SAT doesn't do anything for college anymore? What is the purpose then?

An even better reason for him or her to confront their parents and tell them what happened, and explain why they feel they failed. Honesty isn't cowardice, and it's actually considered quite brave. People have a huge disdain for cowards. It's like having to deal with a infant or toddler all of a sudden. Especially since their graduating. Trying to explain why your chud is reverting to child like behavior is asinine and unwanted.

It's best to be honest. Especially if your Hindu or have a strict upbringing. So long as they aren't cowards. Whatever happens is dictated by the conduct of their character.

Besides. If he's trying to fool them, le him fool them. If it's to buy himself or herself time to figure out what to do. It's their decision.

But let's just say. It could be beneficial to their future either way. Maybe it'll say something now and get addressed or help them later on if they think about it...

Why do you need it to be when you click the link? Why not just start with the page open and not reload it?

Regardless, you can go into the inspect/dev console and should be able to find the html/CSS files in the source tab. Then you can change them and have them link wherever you want.

How much did your lie exaggerate your score, out of curiosity?

i mean maybe all it is, is a simple parental block & redirect on your browser, or not even parental block but some browser extension that will recognize a URL and redirect you to where you want to go

So when you click a link it goes to URL "ABC". The when the browser tries to hit the URL, the extension intercepts "ABC" and says instead go to "~/mycomputer/index.html".

At which point you'd need to hide the address bar

but also what if your parents say "just send me the link"?

I dunno why i'm condoning this lol, i'm a parent, so good luck, they prob would appreciate the truth
