SAT score delays affect thousands

Test provider delayed results because of investigation into alleged cheating

Although more than 100,000 students from the Chinese mainland head to undergraduate programs in the United States each year, there is nowhere on the Chinese mainland for Chinese students to take the Scholastic Assessment Test, a standard examination widely used when applying for US universities.

During examination months, such students, like migratory birds, fly to neighboring regions and countries, including Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea, to sit for the test that might determine their future.
