A Chinese police official has been arrested for stealing another girl's exam results and passing it off as his daughter's to ensure her a place in college, a newspaper said on Wednesday.
Competition for college places is fierce in China where stories of cheating surface every year. Students pay for leaked exam papers, smuggle in mobile phones and electronic dictionaries, or pay others to take the exam for them.
Wang Zhengrong, formerly of the Public Security Bureau in Shaodong county in the southern province of Hunan, was charged with forging and altering official documents and seals in 2004, the China Youth Daily said......more
Since 2004!? Wow. So since 2004 some rich girl is in college (and probably graduated college stealing someone elses' results) and some poor village girl is wandering around pondering how she failed that test.
Actually this being China, I'm surprised the dad was arrested at all. I'm sure this happens all the time to alot of students. If you have money or your father is in a position of power, you'll get places.

It looks like giving an exam is a farce in China. Paying someone for doing your exam wouldn't work here, because most teachers that I have ask us to present our student ID card before giving us the exam paper.
It's not getting someone to take the test.. both kids take the test but the results get switched behind the scenes.
Say you're smart and get 100% and I'm dumb and get 60%. My dad works behind the scenes and switches the marks so YOU FAIL! :)

Now that's what I call keeping examination records in a good way! It looks like being smart and ambitious doesn't pay off that much in China. So sad.
