September ACT Mass Cancellation in Asia

Students from China and other parts of SE Asia are claiming that they have received cancellation letters because of some sort of leakage of the exam.

Can anyone confirm this?

Go on Reddit. There are a few posts about the cancellation in China. It looks like it includes Australia.

If the ACT is canceled there for the usual reason (mass cheating), shouldn’t the SAT follow suit?

Uh oh.

Looks like the usual suspects are surfacing, but let’s not be too quick to jump to any conclusions or succumb to racial profiling until we know the facts for sure.

For all we know, the leakage could have stemmed from Australia.

Yep ! It got canceled in Pakistan aswell.

Administrations of the test in most of Hongkong centers will take place as scheduled.

Hope that Hongkong tests will not be cancell after my arrival in Hongkong.

I thought Hong Kong got cancelled too. They are still on ?

These companies have to figure this out.

Kids in my DD’s school were counting on one last ACT sitting before applications.

Now, kids who only prepared for ACT are scrambling to prepare for SAT at least one time.

Sad.
