Students take the CSAT at a high school in Seoul, November 2014. / Korea Times file

Cheating cases in the college scholastic aptitude test (CSAT) have doubled in four years, data shows.


According to data Rep. Bak Hong-geun of the National Assembly's Education, Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee received from the Ministry of Education, Tuesday, the number of students caught cheating grew from 97 in 2011 to 209 last year.

A total of 818 cases occurred over five years.

The cheaters' grades were invalidated and three students were stripped of the opportunity to take the test the following year.

The largest number of cases involved students having smartphones with them. The phones are banned in the examination hall.

Following was students solving questions for another subject during the time allocated for a certain subject (325 cases).

Others cases involved filling out the answer sheet after the test (58 cases), having other electronic devices with them (39) and disobeying the supervisor's instructions (20).

"As much as cases of cheating are increasing in the CSATs _ in which fairness is critical _ education authorities should not only clamp down on dishonest practices but also seek measures to prevent this from happening," Bak said.

Meanwhile, this year's CSAT will take place nationwide Thursday.
