The Educational Testing Service has canceled the SAT scores of about 900 South Korean students who took the test in January, The Korea Times reported.
The testing service said that some test-preparation companies in South Korea had provided portions of the actual examination to students in advance of its administration. Because the service could not determine how many students had seen the tests, all scores have been nullified. Students who took the January 27 administration of the exam will be allowed to retake the test free.
South Korea sends the third largest contingent of foreign students to the United States — nearly 59,000 in 2005-6, according to statistics from the Institute of International Education.
