The SAT is a COMPLETE JOKE, at least in terms of the College Board’s inexcusable inability to address the mounting security concerns that continue to plague its organization year after year, administration after administration…
The ACT also recycles tests in Asia and faces similar cheating concerns, but has never faced such allegations or scandals on a massive scale.
Why?
People at ACT actually take their jobs seriously.
Don’t listen to this guy marvin100, who may be well informed or knowledgeable of test contents as a test prep coach, but hasn’t an inkling of a clue about actual form usage or test administration procedures related to either the College Board or the ACT.
In the summer of June 2014, when rumors of leakage pertaining to the ACT first surfaced in South Korea, the ACT took drastic preventive measures in its subsequent administration of the September ACT exam in South Korea and decided to use two different forms or tests in South Korea alone (60E in South Jeolla-do Province and 69F in the Seoul district), not to mention the fact they mixed up at least 5 different forms in Asia for that particular month. The message from ACT was clear: whether the rumors were true or not, it was not going to take any chances.
In that same year, the College Board used the December 2012 exam internationally in January of 2014, an exam that previously had been recycled on at least two occasions both in the U.S. and elsewhere, even despite overwhelming evidence obtained from the South Korean Prosecutors’ Office of South Korea, District of Yeok-sam-dong (Prosecutor **** oversaw the confiscation and seizure of illegal materials from at least 44 teachers/academies in South Korea, 2013 and this exam was one of many included in that blacklist) that the exam was seriously compromised and should never be used again.
I can certainly give many more concrete examples, backed by factual evidence rather than mere hearsay, but the reason one never hears of any ACT cheating scandals is that the guys at ACT are actually doing their jobs, whereas the College Board, well, do I need to really say anything?
