<p>Any one know a good hagwon in Korea?</p>
<p>I went to three hagwons already; I merely wasted time.</p>
<p>RECAS in Seoul is extremely expensive but for the average student they have good resources. (Aka… not exactly things one can acquire legally…)</p>
<p>But if you are a motivated student, as Ben said, it’s a waste of time… and more importantly, waste of money.</p>
<p>Study on your own man.

<p>[Hagwon</a> Teacher Charged In SAT Fraud | ROK Drop](<a href=“http://rokdrop.com/2010/01/19/hagwon-teacher-charged-in-sat-fraud/]Hagwon ”>http://rokdrop.com/2010/01/19/hagwon-teacher-charged-in-sat-fraud/ )</p>

Police are investigating whether a lecturer at a private language institute, or hagwon, in Gangnam, southern Seoul, identified by the surname Kim, 37, allegedly helped two Korean students to cheat on the United States-based Scholastic Aptitude Test, officials said yesterday.</p>
<p>The students were studying in the U.S. at the time.</p>
<p>Kim allegedly sent them a copied test and answer sheets from Thailand to the U.S. by taking advantage of the time difference.</p>
<p>The SAT, which is administered by the U.S.-based Educational Testing Service, is the exam for students who want to gain admission to U.S. colleges.</p>
<p>The Suseo Police Precinct in Gangnam said that Kim allegedly obtained the sheets from a Thai test-taker who took the test in Bangkok on Jan. 24 of last year.</p>
<p>Then Kim allegedly sent the sheets via e-mail to two Korean high school students surnamed Kim and Lee who took the same exam twelve hours later in a test center in the U.S. state of Connecticut, investigators said.</p>
<p>Even though the SAT is taken at test centers worldwide on the same day, the test in Bangkok is 12 hours earlier than the one in Connecticut.</p>
<p>Police said the lecturer allegedly received the test paper around 3 p.m. (Thailand local time) and sent it to the students with the answer sheet around 5:30 p.m.</p>
<p>The students checked the test material the same day, said officers.</p>
<p>Investigators raided Kim’s office in the institute and obtained the original version of the test. Police also searched Kim’s e-mail to the students.</p>
<p>Kim is widely known among students who are preparing for the SAT and their parents as a top instructor. He was paid between 2.8 million ($2,486) and 3 million won per lecture.
