The American College Board has been troubled by the disclosure of questions for many years, partly because in the past, the United States used questions extracted from the question bank and tested in the United States in overseas sat exams. This provides an opportunity for some professional exam preparation institutions, who will send their own people to the United States to take exams, so as to obtain exam questions through transcripts or other illegal means. At the same time, you can also get the exam questions published by candidates in some specific chat sections on the Internet.

In the past three years, at least five SAT tests taken by American high school students included topics that were widely leaked on the Internet. These topics can be seen on the internet one year before the candidates take the exam. Even the redesigned questions will appear on the internet a few days before the exam.

At present, the scope of the test questions is not clear, and there is no evidence that these test questions fall into the hands of organizations or institutions specializing in theft, cheating and other illegal activities. However, some examination experts said that this disclosure represents one of the most serious secret accidents in the college entrance examination in the United States.
