30,000 Egyptian students and their parents woke up to the news of the cancellation of the result of the American Diploma (SAT) test conducted on October 5, 2019 due to leaking. The decision was canceled by College Board, the body responsible for testing the US diploma.

It was regrettable when the second and third graders received an email from the company canceling the test result, confirming that they could not try again, putting the students and their parents in trouble.

College Board confirmed that the cancellation of the test result for this batch was due to the existence of conclusive evidence confirming the theft and diversion of the test for Egyptian students. The news spread a week before the test and pictures of the test appeared on the websites.

Mr. Minister of Education Tarek Shawki What are you doing to those who destroy our children and boast of leaking the American diploma exam ???? They win money and our children and we pay the price ...... Who bears the long hours spent by the students studying and stress ... Who bears ... https://t.co/Myi54feXbj

Leaking Accidents in Egypt
The American secondary diploma was first applied in Egypt in 1998, and is used by parents as an alternative to the Egyptian public high school, as it does not rely on conservation, but seeks to develop their mental abilities and qualify them for university study abroad. The American diploma is characterized as being divided into four sections, divided by grades of the academic year , Reverse the high school that spans a full year for all subjects.

The US system in the secondary diploma (SAT) and the British system (IGCSE) compete in quality and degree of deployment in Egypt, but the American system is threatened with cancellation due to repeated leakage incidents.

Although parents were shocked by the news that the result was canceled, what was done in Egypt was expected, as the test became a big gamble in the future of students. The leak was repeated and the result was canceled this year in May 2019 and December 2018. In March 2019, all exams were canceled after the company leaked the test before the test was held.

Negligence in Egypt with each US diploma course puts the burden of thinking on alternatives, as well as the grief on the money that parents incur to take their children to tests, as well as extortion from private tutoring centers that offer them to buy the test form for 20,000 pounds, as reported in the newspaper. Official "News Today".

Another form of extortion for parents who intend to enroll their children in the American diploma to ensure a better future is the advertisements that never cease to accredited diploma schools or American schools, so that they are surprised to be victims of a trick repeated every year.

Most parents are unaware that Egyptian students with an American high school from an American school in Egypt may not be eligible to take the American Diploma exam, because the school is not accredited contrary to what it claims. Therefore, parents have to work hard to make sure the claims of the schools themselves, and to ensure that the certificates of their children will be certified by the Egyptian Foreign Ministry and the embassies of Egypt in the Americas, Russia and Eastern European countries.

Trading tutoring
The fee for the US Diploma exam is about $ 150, apart from a small fee for telephone registration or late registration, but the crisis is the cost of private lessons to pass the test, because few students are self-reliant because of the difficulty of testing the American Diploma in particular.

Ms. Ahmed, the guardian of a student who passed the American diploma test on the high prices of private lessons, told Al-Jazeera Net the cost of the English class, which amounted to 500 pounds (about 30 dollars) compared to 300 pounds (18.5 dollars) for mathematics. The mother said that the result of her son had already been canceled the first time because of fraud and leakage, but passed the test the second time. She also added to the idea of ​​difficulty of the test, the scarcity of the possibility of passing the test without lessons, so parents have to contract with private tutoring centers two months before the test to get an intensive and complete follow-up, with other classes distributed throughout the year.

We contacted one of the private tutoring centers in Egypt to pass the American Diploma test to find out the average prices of lessons for parents. These centers are spread on Facebook, and teachers support each other, including those who write a full study plan includes communication with parents on the service of WhatsApp messages to check at the level of the son, with emphasis on the use of the latest technological means of education, and here the competition between the centers in the time needed by the student To pass the test to a high degree, which is the most important point for parents of the high price per serving in these centers.

A center called itself “Global Training Center” emphasizes the ability of its teachers to complete the training within two months at a price of 300 pounds per class, while the student needs two sessions per week, but the official in charge of communication with customers pointed to the possibility of extending the training. Intensive up to 6 months to ensure a successful test from the first time.

The middle ring of the American diploma series

There are two types of American Diploma test. The first focuses on measuring students' logical skills, critical reading and writing skills in English, and their math skills without and with the use of a calculator.

The US diploma test is for secondary school only, and is part of a cycle of tests for directly supervised curricula in a number of schools complying with the system, with international time-limited tests and one content globally. Holds an international education degree.
