I heard that the August 2018 SAT was leaked and that scores are canceled. Is this true? (I did not take it).
There have been reports that the August test given, at least in certain areas in the east, may heve been compromised before being given, in that it was the same test as one given internationally last October, a copy of which some companies were selling in foreign countries, and thus at least some internationals may have had a copy of the test before taking it in August in the US as a result. There has not, as far as I am aware, been any cancellations thus far, nor has College Board verfiied that there was any compromise of the test.
Scores were not cancelled. The test was previously administered internationally and had been pirated/copied, published as a practice test by a Chinese prep outfit and also available on the internet.
