wow, that’s intense. i wonder how much actual cheating they must have caught to arrive at such a draconian model. it would be interesting if they published their statistics to make it clear whether all these things are truly necessary.
What stats would convince you? A woman was jailed in the UK last week for taking in person tests on behalf of others. She wore a variety of wigs to fool test centre staff. Where there's demand there's people who will try to supply it.
i guess i would expect them to publish some rates of disciplinary actions per sitting and the type of attempted behavior.
ex “1% of test takers were disciplined for attempting to contact someone for help using a disallowed electronic device surreptitiously”
minimally as deterrance
