Cancellation of sat oct 2013 in south korea??

<p>

</p>

<p>While your question regarding the source is valid, you can safely assume that the OP resides in Korea. Fwiw, when the test was canceled a few months ago, the news did NOT interest the english speaking media, and the news was buried. The only articles were local … but the cancellation was real. </p>

<p>Regardless of the decision to cancel or not, the facts that remain are:</p>

<ol>
<li>The tests are routinely reused abroad,</li>
<li>The large SAT outfits have procedures to capture ALL the administered tests through bribery, outright theft, or organized memorization of questions.</li>
<li>Cheating on the SAT abroad is rampant</li>
<li>It is a disgrace that little has been done so far to bring an end to this. The College Board will never do what is right, namely suspend all such tests abroad OR have everyone playing on a level field. As it stands, they use recycled tests abroad out of fear (justified) that the leaking of the test given earlier would impact the much larger cohort in the US.</li>
</ol>

<p>The ONLY solution to this problem remains in the hands of the colleges. It should be up to them to take the foreign results with a huge grain of salt, and only offer an admission subject to a retake of a similar test offered by the school. A test that wouldmostly check the English mastery of the student and identify discrepancies with the SAT scores. </p>

<p>The honest students should NOT fear a second test. Cheaters should!</p>
