Following an elaborate cheating scandal, the SAT and ACT college entrance exams are now tightening their rules and security.  The scandal, which involved several Long Island high school students submitting fake identification in order to complete the test for a peer, resulted in arrests and a major reformation to the ytests areadministered.

Required by nearly all American colleges as part of the admissions process, the SAT and ACT exams will now require students to submit a recent photograph upon registration, which will be cross checked to photo ID on the day of the test.
