Nearly 100 Would-Be MBAs Nailed in GMAT Scandal The GMAT cheating scandal that has roiled the business school world for nearly three months, threatening to shatter the dreams of thousands, ended this week with more of a whimper than a bang. The exam administrator voided the scores of just 84 test takers and is allowing the vast majority of them to retake the exam immediately. At least some of the voided scores belong to students who have either already been accepted to business school or have graduated.   2008-09-14 Grilling GMAC on the GMAT Cheating Scandal Recent MBA students and applicants have had lots of questions since the Graduate Management Admission Council won a lawsuit against Scoretop.com (BusinessWeek.com, 7/1/08), a Web site that was allegedly providing live General Management Admission Test questions to VIP subscribers. The students want to know why GMAC never warned them that this service was against the rules. They also want to know whose scores will be canceled and what their ultimate punishment will be (BusinessWeek.com, 7/13/08).   Source:(BusinessWeek)   2008-07-29 Does new S.A.T. help with admissions decisions?

In the week since cheating allegations emerged surrounding Scoretop.com, a now-shuttered preparation site for the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), applicants who used the site have become fearful that their scores will be canceled, they will be banned from retaking the test, or they might even be barred from business school.   Nations:China U.S.   Source:(BusinessWeek)   2008-07-02 Poll: Math, yes; standardized tests, maybe WASHINGTON - More math, please. A large majority of Americans thinks schools are placing too much emphasis on the wrong subjects, and more than half think they're doing just a fair job in preparing children for the work force or giving them the practical skills they need to survive as adults, according to an Associated Press poll released Friday.   Source:(AP)   2008-06-27 Headlines Nearly 100 Would-Be MBAs Nailed in GMAT Scandal 2008-09-14 Grilling GMAC on the GMAT Cheating Scandal 2008-07-29 Does new S.A.T. help with admissions decisions? 2008-07-19 Test Scandal Has Business Students Sweating 2008-07-02 Poll: Math, yes; standardized tests, maybe 2008-06-27 Ore. students set to get choice of graduation test 2008-06-21 Web cam to eye test-takers 2007-06-20 Three detained for high-tech exam cheating 2007-06-10 Finger Length Predicts SAT Performance 2007-05-23 Davidson gets rid of financial aid loans 2007-03-19 U. of N.C. goofs, tells 2,700 they're in 2007-01-25 Mich. to end race, gender preferences 2007-01-10 Colleges helping students pick majors 2006-12-18 Admissions boards face 'grade inflation' 2006-11-18 Admissions anxiety reaches new regions 2006-10-22 Colleges coveting home-schooled students 2006-10-01 China lures expatriates but success hard: study 2006-09-28 Scrapping early admissions sparks debate 2006-09-24 Harvard drops 'early action' admissions 2006-09-12 SAT score drop biggest in 31 years 2006-08-29 Kansas teen perfect on SAT, ACT 2006-08-18 ACT scores highest since 1991 2006-08-16 Cheaters score high marks for ingenuity 2006-06-20 China goes high-tech to stop exam cheats 2006-06-01 Student Fatigue May Explain Drop in SATs 2006-05-12 Spellings Summons SAT Execs Over Errors 2006-04-26 China students use Internet to prep for study abroad 2006-04-17 Apology Issued in Email Over SAT Scoring 2006-04-11 College Board, Test Company Sued Over SAT 2006-04-08 More American universities are going SAT-optional 2006-04-05 College Board Finds 27,000 Unchecked SATs 2006-03-22 SAT Errors Highlight Test's Imperfections 2006-03-11 College Admissions Scramble After SAT Goof 2006-03-09 College Board Says 4,000 SAT Scores Wrong 2006-03-08 New Exam Aims to Measure Tech 'Literacy' 2006-02-02 Free Tuition Changes Mich.
