<p>A news came out recently that koreans cheated the SAT by using the time differences. They stole SAT questions from Thailand, and sent it to students in the states the exact questions. This is seriously going to affect Koreans or Korean Americans. That's great...</p>
<p>I’m a Canadian student who lives in vancouver, and I actually talked about this problem with one of my friend in Toronto. Our conclusion ended up being there’ll be different set of questions… but apparently the collegeboard ppl are not as smart as i thought they would be…</p>
<p>As a korean who worked my ass off for the SAT exam, I really want to kill those bastards…</p>
<p>I’m of the same opinion as junho. I don’t think it’ll affect other Korean students that much, but it sure isn’t helping.</p>
<p>Though, I thought the AP exams use different test sets to counter this possibility?</p>
<p>Just as in LOST, that Korean guy is regarded as Chinese by that fat guy.
As Chinese, I am also shamed by those Asian who cheated. But, Chinese are clean</p>
<p>I hate all cheaters.</p>
<p>^^^Seconded, and I’m an Asian.</p>
<p>Um, yeah I’ve heard about that too. And, at a private school in Korea, teachers actually photocopied the SAT booklet and gave it out to their students so they could do well on the exam :s
And monkyle, you’re just being racist. They probably loathe you too.</p>
<p>
News source?</p>
<p>Wasn’t there an article about this earlier in a different discussion section? </p>
<p>Anyways, making ridiculous generalizations based on the actions of the few is never a good thing. Sure, some Koreans cheated, but to make a broad assumption based on the whole just is an unfair and rather prejudiced observation. </p>
<p>But, with all that being said, that’s very disappointing for them to cheat. Cheating makes it so unfair for other applicants, especially for international applicants who already have a difficult time trying to stand out in a super-competitive field.</p>
<p>wow. where did u hear about this?</p>
<p>Here’s a source. It looks like the main perpetrator is the teacher that sent his kids this stuff, although of course the students themselves deserve punishment as well.

<p>ahhah i love how they cheated, had several hours to look at the questions and get the answers, and still only got 2250 and 2210</p>
<p>@IBcrewed
Maybe they only got 1800 if not cheating</p>
<p>I feel sorry for them. Their future is now screwed.</p>
<p>“Officers said Kim received the questions from Bangkok at 3 p.m. on Jan. 24, Bangkok time, and forwarded them two hours later to two Korean students, identified as Kim and Lee, both 19.”</p>
<p>I wonder if there are investigations going on in Bangkok too.</p>
<p>And this made me laugh,</p>
<p>“The SAT is conducted by <a href=“ETS”>…</a>, a U.S. nonprofit organization […]”</p>
<p>Lol. Only three people were involved in this but I bet there are some stupid people who will now say all the Koreans with high SAT score cheated.</p>
<p>"This is seriously going to affect Koreans or Korean Americans. That’s great… "</p>
<p>Why is it great?</p>
<p>“I hate all Asians.”</p>
<p>2 Koreans represent entire Asian population?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No, two Koreans were caught cheating. That is quite different. </p>
<p>Rumors of rampant cheating using different time zones have been circulating for years. Same thing for accounts of organized cheating at schools outside the United States, and especially in Asia. </p>
<p>It is a given that ETS and The College Board are aware of what is happening. However, it is a lot more difficult to catch people in the act or to accumulate enough evidence against the perpetrators. </p>
<p>It is extremely unfortunate that students who spend considerable time and effort studying and preparing for standardized tests are painted with the same negative brush, but it remains that most accounts of organized cheating originate in areas in the world that seem to have different standards and ethics when it comes to US admissions.</p>

He/she was being sarcastic.</p>
<p>My parents are already freaking out that this might negatively affect me, even though I don’t think it really will.</p>
