Topic Reading-Vol.1031-2/6/2015

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
TOEFL exam scores in doubt after leak
It seems that China has a long way to catch up with its rival in education. Studying at a college in the US has been a big trend among Chinese students especially from affluent and influential families. Now, over 200,000 students attend colleges and universities in America, the largest group of foreign students. So the question is not if one to study in America or not but which college or university to attend. And many prominent colleges and universities have high requirements for English proficiency, and the most common score being used is the Test of English as a Foreign Language, TOEFL. It is an Internet based testing conducted at certified sites. So many would assume cheating during the test or leaking before the test is hardly possible. However, today’s sophisticated and skilled hackers seem to have found some ways to break the wall.
Enjoy reading and finding what could happen to this authentic online testing.
