The cancellation of an entire examination’s worth of Upper Level SSAT scores in China have led to speculation that they have been rejected for being “too high”.

Taken by 357 students on September 19 in Shanghai and Beijing, the Secondary School Admission Test Board (SSATB) cancelled all scores because “there are reasonable grounds to question the validity of the test scores from this administration”. The SSATB does not explain the reason for cancelling the scores, but parents’ of the students have revealed their children have gotten extremely high marks that include flawless scores.

Seventy percent of a training class from Shenzhen that took part in the test received the full 2400 points. One person said “Out of 10 people I know, the lowest was 2,292, the highest was 2,400, and eight people got over 2300.”

According to Beijing Times, Chinese students’ scores are frequently under suspicion because they perform much better than their American counterparts.
