Some students have been relying on this round’s score in hopes to improve their applications as well as the time it takes to improve their English. Some parents feel that it is not fair for the administrators to hold the entire nation account for cheating as it was likely that only a small group of students have cheated on the test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2013, the administrators cancelled the SAT exam in South Korea due to tips on a widespread cheating accusations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
