==Cheating and Fairness==
Most students in a classroom will have exactly the same test., However,but because of the nature of the test, and specific rules concerning seating of the students, the chances for success of cheating are low. However, if a group of students worked together to actively cheat, the computer grading the exams would likely catch them in the act- because it is set to evaluate answer patterns for irregularities such as several scores in one class with the exact same questions wrong.
 
To be fair, there is a significant problem with proctors and calculators. The testing administrator is supposed to make sure the memory of the calculator is cleared for the math section of the exam (it is supposed to be put away on the other sections) but this is rarely done in practice.
