The ACT exam used by colleges across America to test entrance candidates has been cancelled for all test-takers in South Korea and Hong Kong in the latest outbreak of suspected cheating by east Asian students. The cancellation on Saturday marked the first time the high-stakes exam had been scrapped for an entire country, according to ACT spokesman Ed Colby. ACT, the Iowa-based nonprofit that operates the test, said it halted the test after discovering that it had leaked in advance. Chan Siu Kam reports.
