The cellular phones used to cheat in the National Scholastic Aptitude Test last Thursday. Students bought forty of this model, considering that the model was convenient for sending and receiving messages without having to open the lid of the phone. Gwangju police confiscated 72 of the cellular phones.
Police are expanding an investigation into what appears to be the largest cheating scandal involving high school seniors after securing evidence suggesting about 100 students allegedly used cell phones to cheat during the national college entrance exam held on Wednesday.
"Initial investigations show the students purchased cell phones from a Seoul-based telecommunications company before taking the exam,'' a police officer at the Kwangju Provincial Police Agency said. "They gathered at a motel and practiced the cheating to get good scores.''
The police in Kwangju said some 100 students, including more than 40 first-year and second-year students, engaged in the cheating. Students who excelled at certain subjects sent their answers to first-year and second-year students outside the classrooms through short message services and they relayed the answers to others.
According to JoongAng Daily, "investigators said that during the exam, top students were paid to send correct answers to accomplices outside of the test centers. The answers were then passed on to large numbers of other students taking the exam.
One of the students involved, identified as Mr. Yun, told police, "I heard that similar cheating [by mobile text] took place the year before last year." Authorities say that top students who relayed correct answers received about 500,000 won ($430) while those who acted as middlemen received about 200,000 to 300,000 won".

It turns out there were more students involved than initially thought, in Gwangju’s exam cheating scheme using mobile phones. As many as 183 students in four organizations, including six female high school students were involved in the exam scandal, according to police investigation,reports donga.com.
"According to police, an 18-year-old student of K high school identified as his family name Kim collected 2.1 million won, 100,000 to 300,000 won per person, from 10 high school students of five high schools in Gwangju area. He raised the money, offering the students to send correct answers at exam and spent 1.7 million won of the total amount.
Police filed an arrest warrant for two students at K high school including Kim on charges of objection of Justice"

heheh my ti-83 lets you make your own programs in basic. but instead, you can make a new program, edit it, then put equations and such there. works quite well.
i think it is way too easy to get caught with a cellphone. it is easier IMO to just sneak in a sheet of paper.
or study, whatever works!
