Business Week: GMAT Scandal Has MBA Students Sweating, by Francesca Levy & Matthew Lawyue:
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. …
The scandal erupted on June 23, when GMAC disclosed it had won a legal judgment against the Scoretop site in federal district court in Virginia. GMAC had accused Scoretop of copyright infringement, saying the site had published "live" GMAT questions—questions that were still currently in use by GMAC, the test’s publisher—and other copyrighted material. The court awarded GMAC $2.3 million, plus legal costs, and allowed GMAC to seize Scoretop’s domain name as well as a computer hard drive containing payment and other data.
