he succeed in winning the test, and was caught for "cheating" because it was supposed to be a no win situation. He got the commendation because what he did was not against the rules, technically if you were aware of the battle (which he was) the tweeks he made to the system, could have been done by an engineer in dry dock .
That is completely different from what was presented in the movie.
He was just a punk ass kid who cheated after failing 2 times before.

Oh... But I thought you said they never failed. And how is that NOT cheating. So facts are, he took the test several times before changing it so he could win (cheating). Just because he got a commendation it doesn't take away the fact he cheated. How did they portray that incorrectly? Oh yeah... They didn't.
I am done debating with you on this...
I like how you side stepped this... It proves my point and the reason you didn't like his portrayal is because people who cheat and steal ARE punk ass kids. Maybe it struck to close to home
