Mobile phones used during Chinese college entry exam

Five suspects have been arrested in China, accused of "stealing exam questions". The suspects apparently succeeded in arranging for others to enter the exam site, sit as exam takers and leave the exam room with questions, before the testing was over - this actually leaves the question of supervision of exam takers, since some of the suspects were jobless juveniles - and finally sent the right responses to exam takers via handphone.

Responses were sold for up to US$120. Parents even complained that some of the responses sold were not accurate.

In a different area in China, a survey had been conducted among college students and half of the 900 respondents stated that they had cheated in exams at least once. And 18% of those respondents who have not been caught admitted that they would do it again.
