Asia-Pacific students have test results cancelled in latest cheating episode
The ACT, used by American colleges to choose students, had been ‘compromised’, test provider tells examinees in several countries
Students in Asian countries have been notified that their scores on the writing section of last month’s ACT college entrance exam are being cancelled, in the latest example of how standardised test makers are struggling to contain an international epidemic of cheating.
The incident comes a few months after ACT Inc, the Iowa-based nonprofit that operates the test, was forced to cancel its exam for all takers in South Korea and Hong Kong. That incident, in June, marked the first time the high-stakes exam was cancelled for an entire country.
The ACT, like the SAT test, is used by thousands of US colleges to help choose from among millions of student applicants.
ACT spokesman Ed Colby declined to say how many students were affected by the October score cancellations, which he said involved test centres in Asia and Oceania...

Re: Students in International Cheating Epidemic.
Sadly, it's inherited due to their culture. With decades of foreign investment coming into Cambodia, they seem to have lost initiative. I most recently was teaching at a university and I implored the students to resist temptation and do their own work, paraphrase instead of cut and paste from the internet, etc. It registered with an incredibly few number of students. Cheating and stealing is simply easier than working hard.

Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.
