Cheating on AP Stats
The Los Angeles Times has a brief notice this morning that 300 students at Trabuco Hills HS have had their scores on the AP Stats Exam nullified by the College Board because "a number of students" had cheated (presumably not all 300). According to the article, the school also failed to follow proper test-taking guidelines. So the students "have to retake" their exam.....

Yea it was only 10 students that cheated. And apparently the school didn't have the correct number of proctors and the right seating arrangement. So they have to retake ALL the AP exams there. And I think they have to take it during summer or something horrid like that. And the school district is paying for all the tests(and you know how expensive that is).

How do I know? I live close to the school and have friends there and have seen enough articles on it. Actually its like 15 minutes away from Tesoro High School where those two kids broke in and changed their grades and stole tests and then got arrested on the last day of school(and that would be my school).

News: AP exam scores canceled at Mission Viejo high school | school, students, exam, college, district - OCRegister.com

"The ETS investigation was sparked in May, after school officials learned some students might have cheated on the AP statistics exam. Ten seniors were found guilty of cheating on their AP statistics and macroeconomics exams – six via cell phone text messaging, Sullivan said."

That would completely suck to have to restudy for AP exams during the summer. Especially if you've forgotten everything...

My teacher gave us a mock-test (not for a grade) 2 weeks after the APs. Frankly, I was rather surprised that I had forgotten most of the stuff.

I hardly think it's fair to throw out everyone's scores from that school. Why can't they just cancel the cheaters' scores? That's just over the top.
