And a lot of cheating once you’re there. The fraternities and sororities are well-organized in that regard. As I noted in my post #23, I was a chemistry major. (Part-time while I was a security guard. Free tuition.)

Quick story: It’s the first exam in freshman chemistry. Maybe 100 students including me are present in a large lecture hall. The professor caught a student cheating. The professor screamed and yelled as the cheater slunk out of the room. “I’m going to get you expelled!”

Years later I found out that the cheater was a plant. The professor set the whole thing up to deter anyone else from cheating. Scared straight, eh?

Fraternities just have test databases. There are only so many questions you can ask. Students from China will use any advantage they can. A friend proctored an SAT exam. He sat at a desk at the front of the room. When the test began, he moved to the back of the room. The students from China lost their minds because they were all in the back.
When I was in school, we had assigned seating for the SAT but I think that went away.
