Security for the exam is tight and exam papers are considered state secrets before the tests. Police in Jiutai, in the northeastern province of Jilin, became suspicious when a mini-bus remained parked outside a school hosting the exam on 7 June. They challenged the bus and searched. Inside, they found three people, two of them staring at a computer screen and talking into a walkie-talkie. A student in the examination hall used a wireless microphone to read out the questions and received the answers from the van. The three had charged the student $1,500 for the service. Authorities in neighboring Liaoning province spent $8 million fitting over 8,000 exam halls with metal detectors and cameras to prevent tech-savvy students from cheating on national university entrance tests. Police raided and found some 42 pairs of cheating shoes with transmitting and reception ability. Along with this, police also found cheating wallets and hats. Share & Bookmark             |
