TPO - The British Council informs that there is still a small percentage of test takers who intentionally cheat by finding someone to "take the test for them" or using various cheating methods or becoming victims of scammers who steal the candidates' money and disappear.

The British Council said recently that some impostors "with connections to test organizers" can change IELTS scores and provide test papers before the official test date.

The British Council believes that, as the owner and provider of the Aptis ESOL test, and co-owner and provider of the IELTS test in Vietnam, this unit has recorded thousands of Aptis ESOL and IELTS candidates achieving high scores, reflecting the true ability of the candidates over the years.

However, there is still a small percentage of candidates who intentionally cheat by finding someone to “take the test for them” or using various cheating methods or becoming victims of scammers who take the candidates’ money and disappear. This fraudulent information is advertised on social networking sites (such as Facebook, Zalo…), on forums or websites, sent to candidates via email or via messaging applications.

“All of the above advertising behaviors and content are fraudulent. The British Council hopes that candidates will always be vigilant when receiving this fraudulent information,” the British Council affirmed.

In cases of cheating, the examination board will cancel the exam results even after receiving the score sheet but if cheating is discovered through security measures, we will investigate after the candidate completes the exam.

IELTS and Aptis ESOL tests are strictly confidential through many stages before, during and after the test to ensure the accuracy and reliability of an international standard foreign language proficiency test.

Serious cases of cheating may result in cancellation of test results, a five-year ban for IELTS and one year for Aptis ESOL, and a refusal to be considered for a specified period by global certificate recognition bodies.

In response to the question of how the British Council has measures to prevent cheating in the case of candidates intentionally cheating by finding someone to take the test for them, the unit said that it has advanced management systems to detect cheating or intentional breach of security barriers from inside and outside the organization. In addition, testing units also have many security measures applied to support candidates and protect the interests of educational institutions and schools that currently recognize and use the results of the IELTS and Aptis ESOL tests.

These multi-layered security measures implemented by the British Council to enhance exam security include dedicated test venue procedures, and rigorous operational and annual audit procedures for test centres.

“We are also working closely with other agencies around the world , including Immigration and Legal Services, to detect, prevent and take appropriate legal action against fraudulent or deceptive activities in accordance with national laws,” the British Council stressed.
