Summary:
Some South Korean students who were looking forward to attending American colleges were very surprised because the College Board decided to cancel the scheduled May 4 session of the exam due to allegations of widespread cheating. It’s the first time the SAT test has been called off in an entire country.
Opinion:
Those cheaters shamed all Koreans. This is not the first incident of SAT cheating in South Korea. In 2007, some 900 students who took the exam in January of that year had their scores canceled after an investigation found an unknown number of students had seen at least part of the exam before the test was given. I am very disappointed that things had to turn out this way. I hope this incident will not affect our admission.
Those people should be punished harshly. Because of their selfish act, many students got a large damage in college application.
ReplyDeleteAs one of the Korean student, i am really disappointed to the morality of some Korean teachers. They should know how fearful the laws are, and should be punished harshly. Also for decreasing trust of Korea, we have to have serious solutions for it.
ReplyDeleteI feel so sad that one of my subject tests, Biology, was cancelled as well. I was so glad that I could get over with it, but my hopes are all gone.
ReplyDeleteI feel so shamful about that... I hope this event should never happen ever again!
