<p>I have a much more skeptical view. I think internationally there’s a lot of scandal and cheating going on. Proctors probably let stuff slide due to bribery, family favors, even blackmail etc etc. Government may even have something to do with it. Student performs well on exam = comes to America to go to a good university = gets in high places and makes a lot of money = comes back to home country to share secrets and/or wealth. I totally wouldn’t be surprised if this happened in countries like China or India.</p>
