News University entrance exam: 18-year-old student cheats with smart glasses

The man said during voluntary questioning that he was worried he may not get into a university after performing poorly on standardized tests and being rejected by national universities, they said. The case came to light after a person who responded to one of his questions online contacted Waseda University. The university consulted the police after he appeared for another exam for a different faculty on Feb. 21 and an official noticed a small camera in the frame of his glasses. Neither of the faculties has admitted the man. "Since the student was found to have cheated, we have invalidated his exam results," a university spokesperson said. Waseda University's entrance exam guidelines require examinees to turn off communications-capable electronic devices and store them in bags, including mobile phones and wearable devices. The latest case is part of a broader issue of examinees' attempting to cheat on university entrance examinations.
