SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) Reasoning Test results for about 900 students who took the January 2007 administration in South Korea will be cancelled. The decision, made by the US College Board, was based upon results of an investigation by ETS into a breach of security prior to the exam. ETS security officials confirmed that a number of students had seen at least a portion of SAT prior to administration of the exam. The undisclosed and copyrighted test was provided illegally to students by Korean test preparation companies.
