Tokyo police suspect systematic plot behind TOEIC English test cheating.

Police in Tokyo say they have found that English proficiency test examinees involved in suspected group cheating had been given miniature earphones and other devices prior to the test.

They suspect that there may be other collaborators in Japan in addition to a Chinese national arrested in relation to cheating on the Test of English for International Communication, or TOEIC.

Wang Likun, a 27-year-old graduate student of Kyoto University in western Japan, was served a fourth arrest warrant on Tuesday on suspicion of taking the TOEIC test under a false name at a venue in Tokyo’s Nerima Ward last March. He has been served arrest warrants three times over TOEIC tests at other venues.
