[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The digital SAT cut down on cheating, especially international cheating.  When the SAT went digital internationally there was huge influx of paper taking foreign students for that interim period when the US was still paper.

Now that it is digital, the organized cheating is harder to accomplish.

And this cheating was MASSIVE, PERVASIVE and NOTORIOUS.[/quote]

I agree that there was cheating, but how does the switch to digital make it more difficult? By reordering questions (and didn't the paper version do that already)?  It seems like anyone can pay someone else to take their test, and making it digital doesn't really make that any more challenging.  Just faster, since it's a shorter test.  [/quote]

Imposter cheating still happens.  7 or 8 years ago the FBI busted a cheating ring for Chinese students that took over a 1,000 tests.   However, the leak of tests, memorized/recycled tests packaged and sold was much more predominant.  Thousands of tests were canceled for this every year since 2010 or so.  Not a few, mind you.  But tens of thousands.

The digital test has cut down on in-class cheating.  It's harder to organize.  I'm not sure if better security for Chinese cheating is why there are fewer high scorers.  Too bad the College Board doesn't release the number of 1500+ scorers pre-digital and post-digital, broken down by country of origin.[/quote]
There is a Chinese site referenced on reddit that claims to have all digital administrations and they are free. I've looked at the site. I'm surprised but I guess not shocked.[/quote]
I call BS on this.[/quote]
