For the third straight month, some SAT scores in Asia are being withheld because of allegations of widespread cheating, this time on the December administration of the college entrance exam.
連續三個月以來，亞洲SAT考試的分數都被保留，因為大范圍的作弊行為。這一次的作弊是在12月份的大學入學考試中。
The same thing happened in November, and in October, and in September. After each administration in those three months, scores on the college admissions test were withheld while cheating allegations were investigated; then some scores were released, and others were invalidated. Some students missed early-decision college application deadlines as a result.
同樣的情況在11月，10月和9月都發生了。在三個月的每次考試結束后，由于作弊的調查，考試分數都被保留了。一些考生的分數公布出來了，另外一些則作廢無效。一部分學生最后錯過了預科(ED)申請的時間。
How many? The College Board, which owns the SAT, and the Educational Testing Service, which administers the SAT for the College Board, said:
那么有多少學生作弊?SAT考試的主辦方College Board和執行SAT考試的ETS說：
a) They could not share specifics about how many students had their scores withheld.
a ) 他們不會吧分數被保留的學生信息泄露出來。
b) They could not say how many have been invalidated this fall because of confirmed cheating.
b) 他們不會把因為作弊分數無效的學生數量公布出來。
c) They could not discuss how they were attempting to stop students in Asia from cheating.
c) 他們不會透露是采取什么方式治理作弊的事件的。
Other questions they have not answered since October include how they confirm cheating; why they don’t inform colleges and universities that a student cheated on the SAT when it has been confirmed; and why they continue to administer in Asia tests that have already been given in the United States, giving scammers opportunities to cheat in several ways.
從十月份開始很多問題他們都沒有回答包括是在怎么查到作弊的;還有為什么在學生被查出作弊以后不馬上通知學校;在由很多方式可以作弊的情況下，為什么用在美國用過的考卷給亞洲的考生。
Here’s the latest e-mail from Tom Ewing, director of external affairs at the Educational Testing Service:
以下是ETS外事部的部長Tom Ewing最近在一封電子郵件里寫的：
We have now released the majority of the scores that were held for review following the November international administration. ETS has informed these students that their scores are available online through their My SAT Organizer.
我們最近已經把保留下來調查大部分分數公布了。ETS已經通知這些學生可以再My SAT Organzier上查到自己的分數了。
Earlier this month, we received reports of test security violations during the December international administration of the SAT. The release of December SAT scores for some students is delayed while we conduct an administrative review.
在這個月初，我們收到了12月份SAT考試安全被違反的報道。我們在調查管理分數的同時，參加12月份考試的一些學生已經被延遲了。
We appreciate that score delays are frustrating to students and institutions. Our responsibility is to deliver valid scores, even when doing so takes extra time. This is consistent with the feedback we continue to receive from our member colleges and universities.
我們知道分數延遲對學生和學校來說都是一種損失。我們的責任就是公布出有效的分數，哪怕這樣做要花費很多時間。這也是跟我們從大學得到的反饋相一致的。
Cheating on the SAT in Asia is not new. Back in 2007, the January scores of 900 South Korean students were canceled because, it was discovered, they had access to the questions before they sat down for the exam, which turned out to be identical to the SAT administered in December 2005,according to the nonprofit National Center for Fair and Open Testing, known as FairTest.
亞洲的SAT考試出現作弊已經不是第一次了，早在2007年，在一月份的考試中有900名學生的分數就被取消了，因為他們發現在考試前這些學生就知道了試題。據一個非營利性組織National Center for Fair and Open Testing稱，考試的試題和2005年12月在美國考過的試題是一樣的。
In 2013, the some scores were canceled in South Korea for the May and October administrations of the exam because of allegations that questions from earlier tests were obtained by “cram schools” and given to students before they took the exam.
在2013年，在韓國五月和十月的考試中分數同樣被取消了，因為”cram Schools”提前拿到了答案并在考試前賣給了學生。
