- During the 2014-2015 school year, roughly 5 million students across 10 states and the District of Columbia adopted new state mandated tests*
- Nearly 81% of students took the exams on a computer or other technology device
- Temptation for students to cheat is high, especially on high-stakes testing
- 64% of students admit to cheating on a test**
