“You got 20 points, then suddenly 80?” ... The ‘shocking secret’ behind a high school student’s overnight surge in test scores

[Financial News] A high school student in Jeju was caught using smart glasses bought on the secondhand marketplace Danggeun Market to take midterm exams.
According to the Jeju Provincial Office of Education on the 9th, a first-year student identified as A was caught using smart glasses to take midterm exams that count toward school grades at a high school early last month.
On the first day, student A wore the smart glasses to take a Korean language test. On the second day, after the test had begun, the student switched from the glasses they had been wearing to the smart glasses and took a social studies test.
The student’s usual test scores were in the 20s, but scores on tests taken while wearing the smart glasses reportedly exceeded 80.
It was revealed that on the day of the tests, the student had secretly hidden in the classroom beforehand the phone connected to the smart glasses they wore, then deceived others by turning in a so-called dummy phone.
An exam proctor caught the student cheating with the smart glasses after receiving a tip from another student. The school gave the student a score of zero in the two subjects taken while wearing the smart glasses.
According to the education office, student A reportedly said, “I bought the smart glasses on Danggeun Market.”
On the 5th, the Jeju Provincial Office of Education held training on cheating with smart glasses for high school administrators and teachers preparing students for the CSAT in the province.
The education office plans to provide additional training for exam proctors on the day before the CSAT and before exams begin on test day.
