在10月22日ACT考试日前一天,路透社称获得一份题为“名声”(Fame)的写作卷,路透社的亚洲线人称:第二天的试题外泄了。
果真,11月5日,考生收到的ACT官方邮件称: “很不幸,你们考试的写作部分被泄露,所以你将不会收到任何的写作成绩。
在考生惊魂未定之时,ACT官网又惊爆重大消息:ACT取消整个韩国考区,只留下首尔希尔顿酒店一个考试中心,直到2016—2017整个考试年。
ACT官方还补充说,此举是为了着手解决韩国考试资料屡次泄题问题,确保为考生们创造一个公平的考试环境。ACT主席Suzana Delanghe说是为了保证所有诚实的、努力的孩子的合法权益,他们不会再让这种犯罪的行为持续下去!
是的,作弊是犯罪,需要严惩!如果放任这种行为,它将殃及全亚洲考区,倘若连参加一场SAT/ACT考试,都要奔波千里去美国本土进行,再好的SAT/ACT的成绩都将黯淡无光!
附:ACT官网原文摘录
ACT to Move to Single Test Center in South Korea for December and All Remaining Test Dates in 2016-2017 Testing Year
IOWA CITY, Iowa— ACT announced today that it will shift all administrations of the ACT® test in South Korea to a single testing site directly monitored by ACT staff for the remainder of the 2016-2017 testing year, starting with the December 10, 2016 test date. All previously existing ACT test centers in the country will be closed for the remainder of the 2016-2017 testing year, which ends in June 2017.
The move is being made to combat repeated test material breaches in South Korea and strengthen ACT’s ongoing commitment to provide a fair testing environment for all students.
The location of the December test center in South Korea will be the Grand Hilton Hotel in Seoul. Locations for the 2017 test events will be communicated by January 31, 2017.
Students who have already registered to take the ACT in South Korea in December or on future international test dates will be given the option of testing at the new test center, rescheduling to another test center or test date, or cancelling their registration and obtaining a refund of their registration fees.
“We can no longer continue to let the criminal actions of a few unscrupulous individuals undermine the efforts of hardworking, honest students” said ACT Chief Commercial Officer Suzana Delanghe. “Moving to a single testing venue directly monitored by ACT staff members will allow ACT to have greater oversight on the testing process, improving test security and fairness.”
Despite the employment of increased test security measures, ACT has continued to experience deliberate attempts by individuals in South Korea to fraudulently obtain ACT test materials for personal gain. ACT was forced to cancel the June 2016 administration of the ACT in all South Korea and Hong Kong test centers due to a verified breach of the materials.
ACT’s plan to move to a Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) design for ACT tests at all international test centers in the future, which was announced earlier this year, remains in place. The CAT design allows for quicker scoring and turn around of results for examinees and is less vulnerable to certain security threats than the existing paper-and-pencil format.
