A little egg on their faces

After leak, 900 students’ SAT scores canceled

About 900 students who took the Scholastic Aptitude Test on Jan. 27 in Korea will have their scores canceled because questions were leaked ahead of time, the Educational Testing Service announced yesterday.
...
“Our investigation confirmed that the security breach only occurred in South Korea,” said Ray Nicosia, executive director of the firm’s Office of Testing Integrity, in the press release.

Exam scandals are a common occurance here. Of course, it is the students who cheat, but it is teachers and administrators who are responsible for selling the test questions. The unscrupulous people who are making money from this need a real swift kick in the ass.
