天才枪手:《天才枪手》背后的2014年泰国舞弊案

影片根据2014年轰动一时的亚洲考场作弊案改编。电影拍得精彩纷呈，不仅惊险刺激，思想性艺术性也不错，真是神作。难怪网上那么多广告片神作是泰国拍的。

带着刨根问底的兴趣查了一下，竟然马上就查出来历史上的那场舞弊案过程。

结果还是大跌一下眼镜。“到目前为止，在泰国考生身上我还没见过这样的作弊行为。”那么，在泰国跨国集体舞弊的是谁呢？相信大家已经猜到了。

2014年10月30日，《华盛顿邮报》刊登了曼谷考官（SAT考官Joachim Ekstrom）在10月11号考试结束后发给ETS的邮件。原文如下：
I have always felt that it is our responsibility as a World IB School to serve the wider community in Bangkok and offer seats to students that wouldn’t be able to take the SAT tests in Thailand otherwise. The College Board simply doesn’t have enough centers here. We have the facility and staff needed to do this. On Saturday we tested 130 students. I am not happy to serve test preparation centers in China though. This is certainly organized crime. The 10 Chinese students that tested at our center this Saturday all sat in the same row. They had consecutive registration numbers. This indicates that they were registered by one person, probably an officer at a Chinese test preparation center. Included in the test preparation center’s package is probably also visa application, plane ticket, and the option of getting the test answers sent to your mobile phone in the morning before the test. I am sure these guys make a lot of money. They are probably also represented in several countries across the time zones.

The test-taker that was caught had her iPhone hidden under her sport jacket. When we collected students’ phones before the testing began, she said that she had given her phone to her mother in the morning. We don’t strip-search test-takers, so it is impossible to know if they have a phone hidden in their clothes. Her mistake was that she checked the notes on her phone during testing, and one of the proctors noticed it. As I searched her phone I saw that it was full of messages including the day’s “correct” test answers for each section. These messages were sent from her friends and a person called BlueOcean, who according to the test-taker, is her teacher at the test preparation center in China. She further said that the answers were taken from a test given earlier that day in Australia.

I tried to call the TAS International phone number given in the SAT Supervisor Manual, but got to talk to an answering machine only. This is certainly a flaw that needs to be corrected. There is nobody who can answer your call outside office hours. I realized that I uncovered an organized crime, and I needed some guidance. Having a look the content of the test-taker’s phone, and following up on the contact information of the people who distribute the test answers would obviously be extremely valuable for the College Board. I didn’t feel that I have legal rights to keep her phone, and I certainly don’t want to be the person that makes the decision. Considering the scope of this, I am sure it wouldn’t be too much of a hassle to have someone on stand-by who can answer the phone and give guidance in case of an emergency when the tests are administered around the world.

I also recommend that the ETS includes a standardized form in the SAT package sent to test-centers where it is stated that the test-taker’s unauthorized device is confiscated due to a fraudulent situation and that it will be returned by courier or post after the content has been investigated. The form can then be signed by the supervisor and the test-taker. I would feel more comfortable confiscating a test-takers device this way.

I feel sorry for the test-takers that come prepared to take the tests in an honest way, and who deserve a standardized, quiet and relaxed setting. I also want to say that we haven’t seen this kind of cheating among test-takers in Thailand. They try to work over time sometimes, and go back to previous sections to make changes based on recommendations from their friends during the break, but that’s about it.

“作为IB学校，我总认为给那些无法在泰国其他地方参加考试的学生提供考位是我们的职责，而且我们的人力和设施也完全能够实现这一点，泰国的SAT考场并不多。

这个周六，我们一共为130名学生提供了考试服务。但我要说的是，为SAT考生们服务，我很乐意；为中国的SAT培训机构，我没有兴趣。（而他们的行径）绝对是有组织的犯罪行为：那130名学生有10位来自中国，他们不仅坐在同一排，而且准考证号是连号的。

很显然，这些学生的考试都是由同一个人注册，而这个人很可能是来自中国某个培训机构的员工。包含在该培训机构打包服务中的可能还包括签证申请、机票以及通过手机提前获取考试答案。我相信这些人一定从中大赚了一笔。不仅在泰国，在同一个时区的其他国家，他们可能也也如法炮制。

一名作弊的中国女生被我们抓了现行，她把iPhone手机藏在外衣口袋里。而当我们在考前收集学生手机时，她谎称早上已经把手机交由妈妈保管了，但她在考试过程中偷偷查看手机却戳破了她的谎言——她被监考老师抓了现行——我们并不会对考生进行搜身检查，所以考生到底有没有私藏手机我们也无从得知。

检查她的手机时，我发现里面满满地都是当天试题的“正确”答案，所有都来自她一个叫Blue Ocean的“朋友”。根据这位考生的供述，这位所谓的朋友即是她所在中国培训机构的老师。后来考生还告诉我们，所有的答案都来自当天早些时候在澳大利亚举行的同一场考试。

事后，我尝试着拨打“SAT监考人员手册”中提供的号码进行举报，听到的却是语音回复。这里显然有一个问题：当我发现一个有组织的犯罪行为时，我需要一些指导，而且查看犯事考生的手机并跟踪答案提供者的联系方式对College Board（SAT考试主办机构）来说无疑极为重要。我不认为我有权利扣留该考生的手机，我也不想成为那个作此决定的人。

考虑到此事可能的后果，我相信当考试在全世界范围内进行时，如果出台规定让工作人员留守以解决随时可能产生的问题，这当不会引发太大的争议。监考人员和考生可在考前同时签字表示同意。如果有这项规定，我在没收学生手机时可能会感觉更有保障。

对于那些老老实实备考的考生，我感到非常抱歉，他们有权要求在一个标准的、不受任何干扰的环境中考试。同时我还想说，到目前为止，在泰国考生身上我还没见过这样的作弊行为。的确，他们考试有时会超时，也有时会根据休息时他们朋友的建议试图跨区更正答案。但仅此而已。”
