- In his first interview about his criminal fraud, Sam Eshaghoff tells how he was able to take the SAT and ACT college admissions exams for others who paid him up to $2,500 per test. Alison Stewart reports.
the real crime is standardized testing

💯💯😭
yessss 💯💯💯💯💯
Haha right on
+nucky thompson So true I fucking hate the SAT it doesn't reflect the intelligence of the student whatsoever.
All I see is a smart kid taking advantage of a dumb system.
Immanuel Kant yep
There's a big difference between intelligence and wisdom.
Sam Flynn in this world intellegence takes you places, morals and wisdom dont. Its a dirty secret among the elite. The ignorant and innocent suffer so that the elite maintain their status.
That's simply not true.
Amen this guy is a genius
who snitched
hey laura im actually pretty suprised that nobody blackmailed him
Prime Records you are an IDIOT!!!!!!! 800 is only a perfect score if you took 1/2 of the SAT’s....... 1600 is perfect!!!!!

How did I miss the joke?
The interviewer thinks she's the smartest one.
I agree
I agree too she has an attitude where she thinks she know anything
Yet repeatedly says "SAT test" when the T stands for test, lol
I feel like she is still salty from not getting into a college or something in the past
Glitch Doge I thought HE was the one who seemed arrogant
I mean it's kinda unfair that a single standardized test decides your entire future.
It does not decide your entire future, you are truly misguided and narrow minded.
Tammy Pham It is one of the major parts of deciding if you can get into the college you choose. If you cant get into the college you want, you settle for less and people tend to earn less when going to a college they didnt want.
truth!
Dimitros Not when they prepare you for your entire life to do it.

Rule #1 of cheating: Never ace the test.
Yeah honestly
that seriously is seriously the number 1 rule
1st rule of cheating on a test is you do not talk about cheating on the test. 2nd rule of cheating on a test you DO NOT talk about cheating on the test.

But I aced my Algebra I test...
she mad cause she got a triple digit SAT score

Hah
Cheat - Spoken like a perfect Republican from PIGLANDIA.
She went to an Ivy League school so she didn’t do that bad. She probably mad that she found someone else smarter than her.
I love how he continues not to care, he literally just supports it.
Natalie __ he said he would never do it if he could go back in time and that he knew it was wrong.. did u watch the whole video?
He never backed down. It wasn’t unethical, the only thing that was unethical was the system

Depends what you classify as deserving lol.
agreed
I can't help but admire the kid's entrepreneurial spirit.

He went to jail then got released no one else got in trouble and no one learned anything. I just saved you 14 min of your life but wasted like 5 sec reading this.
Iván Melgarejo how long did he go to jail
Wrong i waisted 6 seconds lol
Wtf I just wasted more time tying 🤦🏽
he has a criminal record so that means that almost every business will never hire him so his life is still technically got a punishment
What you talking about. This video gave us insight into how this whole thing is done. Through this in depth interview we learn that the world isn't black and white and we don't really have to play by the rules, it's possible to get away with certain things. We get to see the demeanor of an intelligent person, listen to the things that they would say and the way they respond to trick questions etc. This video isn't a waste of this it's super interesting and educational.
By the look of the reporter's condescending face, it seems like her kid didn't get into the college that one of his clients did.
Ik right!
Lmaoooo
Lol no chill but probably true
tru.
Anika Parashar soooo true😂👍😂
His money didn't trump right and wrong. What trumps right and wrong is how a piece of paper defines the character and potential of peoples lives
Thankyou
Yeah but it's to get you in college
+David V. True but I don't think one moment should decide the whole course of your life
Sean Sellon this test doesn't really decide your life it's a major role in what can sort of change your life but I it really isn't the course of your life, like in Japan those tests are what decide your life you can only take it once if you fail you fail life
+David V. Not going to college is like playing Counter strike without internet
*Don’t blame the Player BLAME the Game*
He didn’t cheat, he just found bugs in the game and exploited them
*Loophole
When this guy gets out of jail he should write a book on his journey or even an SAT prep book
For real dogg
he never went to jail lmaoo
If they caught all the students that cheated, he probably snitched on all of them, because there’s no way that all the students he took the test for just got charged.
This Journalist is frustrating. What is with the faces she's making. She looks like a judgmental PTA mom, except the man she's playing holier than thou with is a genius.
How can she be so condescending when she's talking to a genius

So you cheated on a test... Guess what? Your going to jail... wait WHAT?!? This is stupid... Not like the education system isn't rigged... I took some tests with my students at a local high school... surprise surprise I FAILED... and I brought this to the board... I almost got arrested for proving their tests to be fraud... So yep

Rule #1 of cheating: never get a perfect score or the exact score to the person next to you
Sachin Nair ding ding ding
You'd have to be pretty good to be able to purposely get a 1580 rather than a 1600. You'd have to know every question 100% then know that you should get a few wrong and that you made no mistakes on the rest.
Christian Aliferis Totally agree
Christian Aliferis well if you’re good enough to get a full score (1600) then I’m pretty sure you’d know you have all of them right
Jamie Lannister Not necessarily. A person can be unsure about some questions but still can get 1600 through lucky guesses of Mcqs. But a person who purposely wants to get 1580 will have to know every question 100%.
I think the interviewer is low key jealous of the guy.
Who would WANT to take the SAT 16 Times?!?!?
Someone who wants 16 * $2500
rsa edits for $2500
Someone who’s getting paid thousands of dollars.
I would do it for 500
It's just taking the same awful test multiple times and for $2500 a pop. He's basically being paid to make other people look good, the educational equivalent of a makeup artist.

she shld be ashamed

Women's rights
Guys I have a question , If a Instructor lets a guy with different name and surname on his passport compared to his registration sheet . The guy was so clever. What should I need to do ? Is It legal ? And she was so anxious In a hurry did not let us get ready between sections and she started the timer right away .. And they changed the test center to a completely different place with no security no good tables and chaires it was absolutely disappointing and there were 15-20 students friends cheated .Giving small papers to each others and etc but she let them . Can someone help me what should I do ? ??

+Marc Arriaga Yes, he got into college a bunch of cheats that took the seats of other students that studied; very nice!
I think that more than anything this exposes the ridiculousness that somebody's future relies completely on 1 test.
Tru
agreed
That one test shows you have a nice blend of ability to sit quietly and concentrate/being smart right before you go to college where you'll sit for hours and have to concentrate.
Alexander Milentis Well I’m not a genius and I did it from a public school so why can’t other ppl do it
WOW this is so true unfortunately that’s why we seem so many kids in gangs and bad stuff because they can’t get into higher education they need money somehow
Doing well on one test doesn't mean you will perform well on future tests. If you only got into a good college because you had a high SAT score and bad grades then the system is broken. Even if they got into a good college, it doesn't mean they will do well in their classes, and might get bad grades there. Which means they wasted their money to get there.
SAT gives you money for school, if you score high enough. I've had a few friends score a few hundred points short of a perfect score, and they got almost full tuition (25k-30k). P sure if you got a perfect score or the score this guy was getting for people, wasting money isn't even a problem(cause the students probably got a full scholarship to almost any IVY league).
Having a high gpa and low test scores shows you are not very smart and had your grades inflated or played the system and took easy classes, your just mad u got a bad score.
Yeah and college is taking money from kids so they can do classes over and over again so they don't care if you have bad grades on classes they want them leaves
Tbh, once they get in, they just have to pass to get their degrees and masters ect. As long as they get the piece of paper in the end, alls set.
What a hero. He’s not exaggerating when he says he saves lives
this lady's facial expressions just piss me off. she tries to look like she's so clever and saying something that everyone else isn't thinking already.
Hahaha yeah she says obvious stuff lol you're right and she smiles first lol
6:15

I hate her tone, it's kind of aggressive. She thinks she's smart and so much better
Nikhiel Biswas yo good one man
farhanorakzai it’s her job
The entire purpose of the SAT is to gauge how well a student will do in college. If those students who cheated are doing fine in those colleges, doesn't that say something about the SAT? These standardized tests are a ploy to make money, nothing more.
ArcticAnDroid Well yea, but also, this guy admitted to cheating just 16 times, but he may have taken it more. I don't think those 16 kids are proud of themselves five years later, after they've probably finished college. And maybe they didn't finish, maybe they dropped out bc they realized college classes were too difficult. The SAT is definitely suppose to be more reflective of college exams than those you receive in hs. They have a validity and I don't see why everyone is blaming the system. Like wtf..you need an academic standard to be accepted into a higher education course!
The SAT is one of the best indicators of college performance. Sure you have some lower scoring students outperforming higher scoring students, but in general the higher the score the better the college performance.
The SAT has nothing to do with college or life imo, it's just a measure of how good you are at taking standardized tests. I performed higher than several of my friends on the SAT, but I know for a fact that they are smarter than me and perform higher than me in most of my classes. Knowing how to answer the questions that the SAT asks doesn't teach you anything about life skills or the stress of college.
It's not how well a student will do in college, just if they learned the info they needed to in HS to advance onto college.
High School is what is SUPPOSED to prepare kids for college (it doesn't).
i did average on the SAT but got a 4.0 in my engineering program. SAT doesn't mean anything

I love how people look at this and think the kid is the problem, when the reality is the TEST is the problem. What in god's name does the SAT tell us about students? Honestly? How much harder is it to cheat on a GPA instead?
while I do find it unfair for the students who do work for their grades and success, I still have to say fuck ETS and their damn tests. gave me so much stress back in high school. the SAT ONLY measures how good you are at taking the test. it does NOT accurately reflect a student's intelligence or predict how well they will succeed later in life.
Since schools vary widely in academic rigor, GPA isn't a very good metric of a student's ability either. What would you propose would be a better alternative?
+Kevin Le I think the problem is that the sat and just standardize tests in general are plain stupid. They ask you the most ridiculous questions that don't and never will apply to 99% of test takers lives; furthermore, is a student who studied 5 minutes before taking a test to remember some random fact more qualified than a student who spent 5 hours memorizing but didn't remember? School in general is a huge waste of time unless you are directly going to school to train for an exact job. When am I realistically going to use Pythagorean Theorem? When I get a job involving math? No and even if I did the resources of my time allow me to easily research it from almost anywhere on the Internet to refresh my memory yet I remember spending hours in school being tested on things like that. "You can't always rely on the Internet for everything" fuck you engineers spent their lives making the Internet as great as it is and it has become the single most useful learning device you sayicantuseit
Exactly!!
Matthew Walters I'd counter that it's less about the result and more about the process. It's not that you'll be to apply the Pythagorean Theorem in real life, but you'll learn to think in different ways and be able to have the capacity to solve complex problems.
Also, learning basic geometry and what not is just an application of the algebra that cements your understanding algebraic math in general. To say that algebra doesn't affect your field of learning would be incorrect.
Once again, I see the same flaws in the SATs as you do, but until we have an efficient method to test the mental capacity of millions of students at one time... its, unfortunately, the best we have.
If only I knew about him sooner...
Imagine my test scores.

+prinsen115 And they took offense like he committed murder, yet in reality he is helping good people who suck on SATs pass. Also, why must colleges rely on this SAT/ACT testing? bad enough they gangrape you if you need a student loan and they make money off of you for parking, living, eating, and reading at their stupid campuses(not counting credited classes and books). Don't get me started with the SAT is your life thing since every teacher(where I live) encourages you to get tutors and books, which don't even help that much since they randomize the test each time and guarantee a few points on the test(I've done SATs numerous times and only got a 1080, yet a 3.4 GPA throughout high school).
+prinsen115 I think its for psychological effect not because he's dangerous. Put someone in cuffs and force them to do the walk of shame with all those reporters taking pictures is super degrading and that is the point.

i don't get why this lady is comparing him to a murderer? like he's a smart guy. shouldn't the kids he cheated for be prosecuted?

And ruin the kid who actually studied... He's cheating.
Pretty much everyone involved was arrested. The people covering their faces were the students who hired him.
I doubt the kids that got 96th percentile on the test ended up ruined.
I dont blame him.. Standardized testing is evil. Im smart but im a terrible test taker. There should some form of informal assessments to help people like myself. One test shouldnt dictate youre life..

Rick Harrison cool story
@@arizexas he's kinda right. how else are we gonna gauge literally every student in America's academic ability. if someone wants to stand out in a different way then they can volunteer for hundreds of hours or be more involved in clubs or community activities. the SAT/ACT is the option that academically inclined students like me take, students that can't afford to volunteer and be involved all day because they're too busy trying to get good grades
The lawyer seems like the aunt that hates children and no one knows why
Oeste no she’s a mother whose kids got average scores had to go to average schools and she’s convinced they didn’t get into the ivies because of a broken system
It's not that deep, these kids just want to go to college. I ain't mad at it
Just get rid of the SAT and ACT. There's no freaking point anyway like seriously. I get 4.0s but when it comes to the standardized testing I bomb it every time. There's no real point to it. It's telling that teens are worried and upset enough about 1 stupid test and the impact it has on their future that they'd hire someone else to take it for them and do well on it.
They didn't hire nothing.
Mommy and daddy did.
You have to have $$$ to hire stuff out. :)
That could just mean your school doesnt teach to the standard of the SAT. Sat and act sucks but it can really show the difficulty of your school. 4.0 at one school can translate to a 3.5 at another
I find it interesting that he didn't just take the cliche road of "I am ashamed of what I did" and "I made a mistake". I like the fact that he can acknowledge that he did something wrong without saying that he was sorry he did it. That takes guts. Not that what he did was right but I still commend him for that one.
Don't apologize if you're not sorry.

Are u stupid... The kid did a crime.. He is to blame... SAT test are used for colleges.. They are not stupid they have a purpose.. I do agree tho that they need to make it impossible to cheat on them
SAT and ACT are poorly-constructed, money machines anyways. The kid is to blame in this situation though.
How can a college fairly assess someone based on a gpa the school system is corrupt the sat fixes that problem
Thomas Williams Nah, the SAT asks too many one dimensional questions (plug in numbers, basic sentence structure, etc) and doesn't test a lot of important skills that are useful to college students. Most good universities have mechanisms for gauging how good your score is relative to others in your high school.
Yes. The system does need to change. Standardized tests are a joke.

It's a type of test that people take and it's used to compare people. It can tell colleges what most people score and people who score high probably perform better.

Most people don't realize that the SAT is a business, not some government issued test that legitimately analyzes skills of the test taker. It is run by the College Board, which is actually a company and not a "board". Their tests are designed in such a way that unless you are in the top 1% of geniuses, you cannot finish everything on the test in time. The scores you need to pass an AP test for instance are really strange. You can pass some of them with only getting 35-40% correct. Yet for all these tests, you are required to pay to take. And if you want to send these scores to a school, you're looking at 11$ extra per report. I think it's ridiculous that such a business is allowed to dominate the education system.
AgentAndroid all of those fees can be waived based on income
AgentAndroid I know it's a scam, but I scored a 1510/1600 it's not the hardest test
Allen Li The reason it’s hard is because of the way the questions are put. It’s really simple linear algebra and simple division rules. Yes though, definitely hard to answer if you aren’t used to it.
I got a 1410
I've only scored a 1350, but I've never run out of time. Also this test isn't made for the "top 1%" because if you look at exams in places like South Korea, our SAT is the easiest thing in the world.

+Jack DeRoche agreed
+Jack DeRoche not at all an asshole. the SAT is a very unhealthy way of testing that puts a lot of pressure on some students that couldn't handle it. the test is made so important that those students willingly pay someone else to do the test for them. the fact that he managed to do the test for others doesn't make him an asshole
He is a savage.
+ Jasper Kole - I agree about the pressure of these tests. The only way you can succeed is by treating it like a game. A game you can win. Once you get intimidated by the test, you have already lost.
Strangely enough, I'm mad at the kids who hired him, because it was cheating and wrong, but not at Sam. In fact, I applaud him. He had a skill. He turned it into a business. And I kind of think his whole operation was genius. Say what you will about him, he gets a nod from me.
+javalin597 I honestly don't blame the kids. The SATs are (somehow still) important to getting into college, despite the awful requirements. The short time limits, trick questions, how they score wrong answer, and a lot more bullshit. If you were told by your friends that a perfect test taker that takes the SATs all the time for kids so they can get the grades to be on the top picks of colleges so you don't end up working at McDonalds & you didn't have to take a several hour long bullshit test, why wouldn't you take that offer? If the US wanted to get their shit together, they would have already discontinued this test or improve the test where you don't pay and have no time limit.
Hmm, you do make a good point actually. Yeah I would definitely agree that the US's outdated system is at the core of all this. I think Jon Oliver did a segment arguing that very thing as well.
+javalin597 I dont think you can blame the kids either. They used their own advantages to the fullest. Namely, they had money and they used in a certain way
The ultimate irony is that his punishment was tutoring kids on how to take the SAT.
The obvious solution would be to administer the tests in their own school where the student can be recognized.
Milpool but your not required to take it at your school
the reporter also thinks she is the smartest person in the world
The problem i have with this 60 minutes segment is that it refuses to aknowledge the REASON for students cheating on standardized tests. They say over and over again; he cheated on an important test he cheate wah wah but they never say; the reason why he cheated was because the tests are largely outdated (they've been going since 1926), and there is an extreme problem with the system of education in our world.
Faze adapt?
Holl K The reason he cheated was because he wanted money. This guy is NOT some sort of activist aimed at repairing our educational system. He's just a criminal.
@@pearspeedruns I was supporting his ideas until allowed students to enter a bidding war over his services.
SParkApCider It's perfectly fine for you to have a problem with our current testing system. But this guy isn't trying to "make a difference;" he's just trying to justify his side business.
The real take away is the cost of an education, yet they are more concerned about catching the small amount of cheaters, rather than financially help the students that are not able to afford to get in.
If anything, the most important test high schoolers will ever take is the drivers test. Standardized testing is the problem.
You spend 11 million on security but you're not surprised about this guy?
This kid is awesome and the fact that he scored so high so many times gives schools a better impression of him.
He’s the Robin Hood of the new era but because it was against the system 🤦♂️...
Yeah, I'm sure schools have a better impression of him after he repeatedly committed criminal fraud and shat on the system that is integral to their admissions process.
Schools like criminals, good logic.
97 percentile isn't high............
for asians at a top high school.
@@ryanchecks5145 Lol it's really not all that high. From his interview, I can see how his scores are skewed toward the math side. This guy probably consistently scored 780-800 on the math section and 680-700 on the reading and writing sections. I would have charged less and gotten students 750+ in both sections if I were as dissolute as this guy.
If someone takes the SAT for you and you get into a better college and can keep up the grades to be there you deserve to be there end of story
Nooo. not fair to people who CAN'T buy their way in.
This is the point.
city college. Online class. Done. No testing. There ya go. :)
The answer to the 'Where did they get the money from?' was incredibly smart. Ingeniously smooth!
He looks so proud of himself, this guy is going to keep doing stuff like this...
He just wants to make money, the other people are at fault. They'll be the ones that go corrupt, not him.
The R6 Fighter Pilot no, look at his eyes man, he's excited by the rush of possibly getting caught, not only that, he thinks he's smarter than people, the kids cheating end being losers or killing themselves when they are not performing well. He on the other hand likes being the smartest guy in the room. with his talent, he could intern or get a good job, he's choosing something that has risk, because he gets off on it
On top of that, he doesn't show remorse, he's justified that these people should get opportunity, because they have money... If that's not a sign of sociopathy... Idk what is
+Spider-manana it isnt that serious man
John Johnson Haha for real. He's getting paid to take a test. He knows how life works. You have to cheat your way sometimes to get money. You can't be the guy that lives a normal life and expect to be rich. You have to go do the work. And that's all this kid was doing.
The R6 Fighter Pilot It's sad how you guys are impressed by stuff like this... making money isn't the end all be all. If you think that way (like this kid does), you'll go down a bad path. I really don't want to sit here and lecture, but the laws there for a reason and there are plenty of ways to make 2k regularly without committing crime.
Yo is this guy still available for my SAT or nah?
mbj920 No lol
I wish
You can probably get him to tutor you for SAT testing
love how they go after this and not kids that do drugs
They on here calling him a con man when the schools are the ones doing that
16 times that's it? I thought she was gonna say a shocking number like 600.
Robert I mean that’s still pretty good considering how many test dates there are in a year
He know he should feel shameful, but deep inside, he takes pride.
I would be flattered if I were him. Now everyone knows he's a genius
The SAT is the worst test in the world because it is incredibly difficult for kids who don't pay thousands of dollars for tutoring for a dam test that will destroy kids lives and the less privileged kids will never be able to compete with kids whos parents spend thousands for one test
He is a true hero, someone give him a medal
Maybe instead of trying to change the system they should just discontinue the SAT's 😬
Emily Caja that's the stupidest thing I ever heard
Ben Solis You must've not heard of 'feminism needed in the 21st century' then
Ben Solis I was kinda joking lol. Even though sitting in a silent classroom for 4 hours while taking the test is kind of annoying
They won't do it as long as their lining their own pockets.
Emily Caja Because then all you’re left with is high school GPA and schools are of inconsistent quality. That’s why you need a *standardized* test where the results are calibrated to be consistent nationwide. It’s not perfect, but better than admitting people at random.
Colleges don't care who gets into their school all they care about is who's got the money...
Danny Dressel until you apply with the lowest income bracket with *very* good scores
*_Trump's Wall_* nah the college still only cares about money, but if you are really good you‘ll get a scholarship and someone else will pay the college:)
Danny Dressel if colleges didn’t care about who went to their school everyone will get accepted into Harvard and Princeton
Moritz Schindler If you’re low income they’re still getting the money through federal grants or student loans so they don’t really care..
Why is everyone on here complaining about greed? Almost every college in the US in nonprofit. They use tuition to provide financial aid and build new programs. Nobody's making a corporate profit off of leading a top university. (The few colleges that are for-profit are often the online ones, such as Full Sail)
All things considered, he’s doing well for himself now. He founded a real estate company that is responsible for acquisitions, design, financing, and project management for properties. Too bad I don’t live in New York - because he’s so handsome!
They make it sound like they're dealing drugs... they just are trying for a better future...
Does anyone know if this dude is still in the business?
bihh jus study , BOFL
Watch the video they literally say he got arrested and they are interviewing him
Fr nigga according to my state, I'm retarded (Christmas tree every test) yet back when I did try in 3rd grade I had a highschool+ reading level, 😂😂😂i can probably pass that shit
+FLA SHIT cool
+FLA SHIT youre so cool everyone wishes they were you
Props to this dude. The test is screwed, and he knows it... he's smart, someone you want on your side...
I don't really want a criminal on my side.
Ban SAT
Timothy Wong I'm guessing you didn't do well?
@@pearspeedruns Unfortunately they run corporations and sit in at the highest offices in the country. Not all sociopaths are in cages.
SParkApCider I agree with that. I still wouldn't associate with this guy.
Was this interviewer fired lol
I hope
