How Asian Test Prep Companies Quickly Exposed the New SAT Despite vigorous attempts by The College Board to ensure test security, within days of the exam booklets were leaked online. An in-depth article from Reuters looks at how it happened.Read more ... "Booklets for the redesigned exam leaked online within days of the test. The ongoing failures to secure the SAT are prompting some college officials to question the validity of exam scores." http://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/college-sat-two/ College Confidential gets mentioned in passing. Looks like College Board has a major issue to deal with, and that improved technology is the only solution. Obviously, single-use tests are essential. But, as long as the exact same tests are administered across the globe in different time zones, leakage will be a problem. ... For the first offering of the redesigned SAT this month, the organization imposed an added security measure: It banned tutors and other non-students from taking the exam that day....Test-prep companies had posted teachers outside U.S. test centers, ready to grill exiting students about what was on the exam...On the popular website College Confidential, students described portions of the reading section from exams given on March 5. There was an essay on plate tectonics. A letter by the 1960s labor activist Cesar Chavez. A scientific paper about baby fat. A passage from a Michael Chabon novel. And more. Test-prep companies in Asia picked up this chatter and reported back to clients... shown documents contained entire sections from exams... The first file, offered free by a Chinese online test-advice company called SAT Helper, reconstructs one version of that day’s exam booklet... brand-new bootleg test booklets show, the cram schools continue to find ways to subvert the defenses of the College Board... former client, now a student at the University of California, Los Angeles, told Reuters a Sanli booklet helped him score a perfect 800 on the critical reading section of the SAT. In May 2013, cram schools in South Korea, known as hagwons, succeeded at obtaining material from the exam the College Board intended to give that month. It isn’t clear how the material leaked. The security breach was discovered by South Korean law enforcement officials. ... College Board responded to that leak by canceling the scheduled exam.
