GMAT Cheating Scandal

The Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) declared that undergraduates were caught cheating on the GMAT, a standardized test most top business schools require. At the beginning, more than 6000 students were suspected to have cheated in one of the biggest scandals that have shook the business school world. The potential MBA students were part of ScoreTop.com; a site that prepares students for test, but the site’s crime was that it posted live GMAT questions exactly as the ones which appeared in the test. In Other words, the site was the reason for mass cheating. As a result, GMAC sued it for copyright infringement after learning that it was posting "live" GMAT questions. GMAC won 2.3million $ from the trial, the site’s domain name and access to key data.

After more than three months of scandal and investigating more than 6000 subscribers to Scoretop’s hard drive, GMAC cancelled 569 score sent to more than 100 business schools.
