The TaxProf Blog has posted about recent reports of Law School Admissions Test cheating. Remote testing has been put to an end (and here). Reuters has reported that “[a] Chinese student now studying at a Texas law school told Reuters in August that he warned the council about proliferating offers on Chinese language social media sites charging as much as $8,000 for help in cheating on the online LSAT. . . . In some cases, cheating rings hire groups to take standardized tests such as the LSAT and memorize exam questions, then compile and resell them to examinees,” according to one officer of a testing security firm.”

The end of remote LSAT testing should help with the cheating issue. But what about the security generally to limit cheating. In light of the career prospects at stake, are we confident that there are security protocols in in place to address “cheating rings [that] hire groups to take standardized tests such as the LSAT and memorize exam questions, then compile and resell them to examinees”? I vaguely recall television shows, movies, and books talking about potential applicants paying people to take the tests for them.
