It can be hard to prevent cheating in person too: A criminal enterprise was uncovered in 2019 in Sweden. They had targeted the local SAT variant (högskoleprovet).
Their end customer equipment consisted of a modified mobile phone hidden somewhere private, a necklace that acts like a magnetic coil and small magnets that you place against the eardrum. Then the operation would call the phone while the customer was in the auditorium and give them the correct answers via voice.
The answers had been provided by some back office team based on a copy of the test that they had obtained in realtime from some planted source taking the test at the same time, somehow.
- samrus 10mo agoLocks arent meant to prevent doors from being opened, theyre meant to make it harder If thats the sort of james bond shit that has to be done to cheat on in person exams, then theres a way higher chance of being caught. Using chatgpt at home is way harder to catch
- lysace 10mo agoTurns out excellent records had been kept by the criminals. The approximate 70 customers were caught. They received suspended sentences, fines, their scores expunged and where applicable were expelled from university programs. One of them was in a medical doctor program. On that of that their names have been published online (not by authorities). The people behind the criminal enterprise received 2-3 year prison sentences - primarily due to tax fraud.
