How were students in admissions scandal able to cheat on the SAT so easily?

After the Federal Bureau of Investigation released documents incriminating more than 30 people in a college admissions scandal on Tuesday, many wondered how applicants were able to cheat on standardized tests without raising eyebrows.

Thirty-two people, including actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin, were named in the indictment, which alleged the defendants — principally parents of high school-aged children — conspired to use bribery and other forms of fraud to facilitate their children's admission to elite universities, including Stanford University, the University of Southern California, the University of California - Los Angeles and others.

Particularly glaring in the 204-page indictment is that the majority of the children, whose parents were charged Tuesday, had seamlessly secured disability accommodations on their standardized tests enabling them to have additional time on the exams and to take them alone with the proctor at a private testing facility that was located, in some cases, thousands of miles from the test-takers' residences.
