School test developers in Scotland didn’t think about spelling checking in the browser
The Scottish National Standardized Exam (Scottish National Standardized Assessments, SNSA) began with an English test scandal . It turned out that students who are well versed in computers, get into the browser settings and include spell checking.
Tweet of former school principal George Gilhrist on seventh graders cheating on SNSA
SNSA is a peculiar analogue of the Russian EGE, but it is conducted in four age groups: P1, P4, P7 and S3. These are the first, fourth, seventh and graduating classes, respectively. Using SNSA tests, teachers track student progress throughout the life of the course.
Representatives of the Scottish counterpart of the Ministry of Education say that "the problem affected a small number of questions in tests P4, P7 and S3."

Now schools urgently sent instructions on how to disable spell checking in the browser.
It should be noted that the fact of cheating already says a lot about a person. It is said that at law schools of American universities for such a shame they are expelled from the university. Using a cheat sheet by a student permanently puts an end to his legal career, therefore, during exams, teachers can safely leave the classroom when students prepare for an answer. Only the most perilous and insane guys dare to open the textbook lying on the table and spy.
However, Scottish seventh graders hardly thought of a legal career in the United States. They simply clicked the right mouse button on the underlined words in the browser. In this case, the test of two can be put to the developers of the test, in which computer literacy was lower than that of schoolchildren.
