美國高考ACT因泄題取消香港韓國考試
An examination for students in South Korea and Hong Kong hoping to study at US colleges has been cancelled after "credible evidence" emerged that it had been leaked in advance.
日前，希望前往美國大學讀書的韓國和香港學生參加的一場考試，竟然因有“可靠證據”顯示考題提前泄露而被取消。Administrators of the ACT test took the decision just hours before.
ACT考試的主辦方是在距離開考還剩幾小時的時候宣佈的這一決定。The ACT is one of two entrance exams available to international and domestic students wanting to go to a US college.
國際或者美國本土想要在美國上大學的人，都必須參加ACT考試，或者另外一項考試。
This is not the first cheating scandal to hit the tests in East Asia. The other entrance exam - the SAT - was cancelled in South Korea in 2013 because some of the questions were leaked.
這已經不是發生在東亞的第一起泄題醜聞了。另一項“美國高考”。也就是SAT，在2013年於韓國也因泄題而被取消考試。The Associated Press said teachers at some of Seoul's private "cram schools" said they were not notified until about an hour before the students were due to sit the test.
據美聯社消息，首爾的私人“補習班”老師們表示，直到開考前一小時他們才接到通知取消考試。ACT Inc, an Iowa-based non-profit organisation that was operating the test, said it took the decision after receiving "credible evidence that test materials intended for administration in these regions have been compromised".
負責本次考試的ACT公司是一家總部設在愛荷華的非營利機構。該公司表示，在收到“可靠的證據表明這些地區的考題遭泄露”後，他們馬上做出了這一決定。The organisation said in a statement that all students would get a refund but would only be able to resit when the tests are held again in September.
該機構在一份聲明中表示，他們會將考試費用退給學生，並在今年9月再安排一次考試。
