College Board hit by SAT cheating scandals in Asia

Hong Kong

AS students around the world cram for this Saturday's SAT college entrance exam, many in Asia are poring over old tests in hopes that the College Board will again reuse a test that has leaked ahead of time. These bootleg tests are widely available on Chinese websites to download for free.

Students and tutors were amazed in January after thousands who flocked to regional testing hubs in Hong Kong and Singapore discovered that they were given the same exam administered in Asia the previous June. In the intervening months, copies of the exam freely circulated on the Web, giving students in Asia a leg up in the fight for prized slots at premier US universities.
