主管美国学术能力评估测试(SAT)的非营利民间机构美国大学委员会(www.collegeboard.org)5月1日公布，由于在韩国进行的五六月考试内容很有可能已泄露给不少考生，故取消计划于5月4日在韩国进行的SAT考试。

　　2月，韩国一些语言学校曾因涉嫌泄露SAT考题被检方调查，未料仅过3个月再度发生涉嫌泄题事件，结果致使韩国全体考生不能参加美国SAT考试。

　　美国大学委员会表示，为使韩国考生能按时参加考试研究了各种对策，但在已有考题可能泄露的情况下，只好取消计划于5月在韩国进行的SAT考试，以维护 SAT考试在全球的声誉。美国大学委员会在给SAT考生的关于取消考试通报中说，“因一些非法的、不道德的单位，致使全体考生受到这样的遭遇，我们感到非常遗憾”。

　　由于Collegeboard得知韩国某培训机构为了自己的商业利益非法获取了5月SAT reasoning & subject 两种考试的考题，Collegeboard将无法提供5月份在韩国的所有SAT考试，考试费用会直接退给考生。

　　Collegeboard目前正在处理6月份的考试报名内容，如果您还没有报名6月份的考试，请抓紧在官网上进行报名，截止日期是5月7日周二，美国东部时间。Collegeboard已经告知所有大学，韩国5月份的所有考试取消了。Collegeboard知道这个决定会使得很多人失望，但是Collegeboard也是迫于韩国无良机构的非法行为，为了保护SAT考试的公正性，才做出的这个决定。
