Ok, so today we had to take this short-answer test about religion and crap. I'm an atheist and I know nothing about religion. So, one of the questions asked, "What is God compared to...?" and I had no idea whatsoever. I couldn't even bullshit this one. So I look at the paper of the person next to me and he wrote "the sun" and I was like, that's logical. So i wrote that too. And I finish the test, and turns out, the answer was "an architect" and I'm like, "oh fuck".
So two people, sitting next to each other, wrote the same dumb answer...I'm so fucked. What do I do? And i go to catholic school and they will legit expel us both. I dunno what to do. The teacher is very nice but I don't think she likes me. (none of my teachers really do)
My mom will legit killed me. I mention her in my other thread. I don't think I can take it if she yells at me. I really can't. It's horrible. last time, she yelled at me for having my phone...but you don't understand, she yells at me like how your parents might yell at you if they found out you got pregnant/got someone pregnant or sold drugs.
What do I do? please help

Really?
Nothing, I mean you did technically cheat, you just have to take it on the chest and see what happens.
Chances are they won't really notice, unless they mark them one after the other or she remembers. Which both are unlikely.
Anyway was that the only answer you cheated on? I mean if it is one then I don't think they'll notice but if it is more than one then the chance of her noticing will be increased.
I don't honestly know what you can do you did cheat, but if it is one answer then you can just explain that it coincidence but if you cheated on all the paper then I guess you just have to see what happens.

Yeah, it's a short answer test so we had to write complete sentences. It asked 3 questions and the questions split into subsections: a and b. So, it was one of the subsections but it was important. It was like "What is the significance of [some bible story] (a) What is god compared to? (b) What does this mean?
So I got a wrong because I was like "sun" and that wasn't the answer but I think my answer is kinda significant to the rest of the question... And the coincidence excuse is slim...I mean, it's a really dumb answer and has nothing to do with the entire text.
Because we only did half the test today and we're doing the rest on friday so chances are, I might get the test back and then I can cross it out but it's probably possible that she'll make sure we can't edit the previous answers.
Should I find her tomorrow and just admit I cheated or do I wait and see if I'm lucky?

Thanks but no offense, that doesn't really help me...forget what i did, it's about what I'll have to do. I don't know what to do at all.

Pretend it never happened, and whatever you do, don't look guilty.
In the future, don't cheat. I'm agnostic and even I know that God would be compared to an architect since Catholics believe that he created the world, etc.
Cheating only hurts you, because you don't learn from it. That's one piece of information you miss out on that you could have easily learned.

Take responsibility. Don't bring it up first. If they don't say anything, you're probably in the clear. If they do, take responsibility. Own up to your mistakes.

first off all, what is an athist doing in a catholic school? just wondering.
but yea, think about what God did, why would he be compared to something he created(the sun).
also, just keep it to your self and if they mention it just say you made a mistake. also will you get points taken off your test/quiz if you leave answers blank(by this i mean lets say you have a 20 point quiz. you get 19 correct but you leave one blank. would it be 19/20 or 18/20?), because if you don't just skip them.
