SINGAPORE - A total of 218 students, who mostly study psychology, from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) have to retake a test after the paper was released online earlier.
The test, which took place at 9.30am on Nov 7, was conducted in two settings at the same time. Most students took the test physically, while those who had Covid-19 took it online.
However, the school later found out that the test paper had been put up online on the student learning platform prior to the test.
Associate Professor Chia Wai Mun from NTU’s School of Social Sciences said: “We are very disappointed with what happened. We apologise to the students for having to retake the test, but this is necessary to ensure fairness to everyone.”
She said that the school has reached out to the affected students who, in general, have accepted that a retest is fair. The school is still working with the students on a suitable date for the retest.
Prof Chia added that the school will conduct a thorough review of its exam procedures and take the necessary measures to avoid similar incidents in future.
