Event prototype:
In 20 14, the SAT test held in Asian countries was leaked on a large scale, affecting more than 10,000 candidates, including China.
SAT test institutions generally use the test papers that have been tested in the United States as the test questions in Asia. Candidates in Asia will try their best to get the exam questions. More seriously, some exam training institutions will send people to the United States to take the exam, remember the exam questions, or illegally take pictures and collect them, and recruit students with real questions as a gimmick to make profits.
20 14 10, after the SAT cheating incident was exposed, the invigilator ETS investigation confirmed that some candidates cheated, and the candidates' scores were subsequently cancelled. This incident not only rewrote the fate of countless candidates in China, South Korea, Thailand, Japan and other countries, but also triggered a heated discussion in society.
This is a description of a cheating accident by Joachim Ekstrom, head of the senior middle school of NIST International School in Bangkok, Thailand. The following are his emails to ETS and College Board: (excerpt)
In this exam preparation (training) center, there are also visas, air tickets, and the choice of whether to receive answers by mobile phone before the exam in the morning. I believe these people must have made a lot of money. These people may also represent the sources of answers in other test areas.
Candidates caught cheating on the spot hid the iPhone in their sports jackets. When we collected the mobile phone before the exam, she said that she had given it to her mother in the morning. We don't frisk candidates, so we don't know if they will hide their mobile phones in their clothes.
When she checked the contents of her mobile phone during the exam, she showed flaws and was discovered by the invigilator. When I checked her mobile phone, I saw all the so-called correct answers to every part of the exam that day.
The news came from her friend and a person named "BlueOcean", who was said to be the teacher of her examination and training center. Later, she said that the answer came from the SAT test in Australia that day.
Extended data:
Bad Genius's audio-visual presentation is smooth and fast-paced. With textbook-like editing and leg-shaking BGM, the theme makes everyone who has experienced his student days "empathize" and it is easy to find a memory connection between himself and this film.
The film's unique blend of youthful atmosphere and criminal atmosphere is almost beyond the reach of domestic films with the same theme. At the same time, the film discusses Thai social topics such as disguised high tuition fees, rigid examination mode, differences between the rich and the poor, and unequal opportunities.
