SEOUL, March 9 (Yonhap) -- The administrator of the U.S. college entrance exam said Friday it has decided to cancel the scores of about 900 South Korean students, admitting some of the questions for the January test were leaked.
The Educational Testing Service (ETS), a non-profit U.S. institute devoted to creating standardized tests such as TOEFL and TOEIC, has decided that "some students" had been aware of test questions before they took the SAT, or Scholastic Aptitute Test, here in January, ETS officials said.

This is kind of unfair for those that didn't see the exam in advance. But they are allowed to retake the test for free.

because the SAT was 'leaked' only in Korea. There are many international and public schools in Korea..so the people who took it in Korea, their scores got cancelled.
