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.

韓國(guó)和香港參加美國(guó)留學(xué)的考試竟然因有“可靠證據(jù)”顯示遭泄題而被取消。

Administrators of the ACT test took the decision just hours before some 5,500 students were due to sit it.

ACT考試的主辦方在距離開考僅剩幾小時(shí)時(shí)，宣布了這個(gè)決定。

The ACT is one of two entrance exams available to international and domestic students wanting to go to a US college.

國(guó)內(nèi)外想要到美國(guó)上大學(xué)的人，都必須參加ACT考試，或者另外一項(xiàng)考試。

This is not the first cheating scandal to hit the tests in East Asia.

這已經(jīng)不是發(fā)生在東亞的第一起泄題丑聞。

The other entrance exam - the SAT - was cancelled in South Korea in 2013 because some of the questions were leaked.

另一項(xiàng)“美國(guó)高考”——SAT，2013年在韓國(guó)也由于泄題被取消考試。

The ACT test was due to be held at 56 test centres in both South Korea and Hong Kong on Saturday morning.

ACT考試原定于6月11日上午在韓國(guó)和香港的56個(gè)考點(diǎn)開考。

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(jù)美聯(lián)社消息，首爾的私人“補(bǔ)習(xí)班”老師們表示，直到開考前一小時(shí)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".

運(yùn)營(yíng)本次考試的ACT公司是一家總部設(shè)在愛荷華的非營(yíng)利機(jī)構(gòu)。該公司表示，在收到“可靠的證據(jù)表明這些地區(qū)的考題遭泄露”后，他們馬上做出了決定。

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(jī)構(gòu)在一份聲明中表示，會(huì)將考試費(fèi)用退給學(xué)生，在今年9月再安排一次考試。
