The Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), which develops and administers the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) that is used in the MBA admissions process, has taken over the domain name Scoretop.com as of 20 June 2008, shut down the web site, and obtained a hard drive from the ISP provider containing Scoretop subscriber information.
GMAC alleges that Lei Shi and other participants in Scoretop provided 6000 paid subscribers with access to authentic, live GMAT exam questions. GMAC has canceled one person’s GMAT score in late 2007, and may cancel other scores if a forensic examination of the drive and server logs yields a list of GMAT exam takers.
David Wilson, president and CEO of GMAC, claims the organization will not “cancel a score where we think there’s a shadow of a doubt.” But GMAC’s investigation has left some potential and current MBA students wondering if or when they will be questioned.
