NYT has other details left out of the AP writeup, including;
>The new rules apply nationwide, and the Nassau County district attorney, Kathleen M. Rice, said in a statement that they would take effect in the fall. Ms. Rice said a goal of the new requirements was to close the gaps in test security that had allowed students to impersonate other students. The photograph that students will be required to upload will be printed on their admission ticket and the roster at the test center. The statement said the uploaded photos would be retained in a database that high school and college admissions officials can look at. > >Under another new requirement, test registrants will have to provide their gender. > >Another new rule calls for would-be test-takers to list their high school when they sign up. “This will ensure that high school administrators receive students’ scores as well as their uploaded photo,” according to a statement from Ms. Rice’s office. “This back-end check will provide another opportunity for cheaters to be caught.” The statement said home-schooled students or others who are not in high school — those in the military, for example — “will follow a slightly different registration procedure.” > >The statement also said that standby test registration, in which students can register the day they take the test, would be eliminated. “Students not appearing on the roster” at a test center or students who do not present sufficient identification “will not be allowed to sit for the exam,” according to the statement from Ms. Rice.
Smart thinking. My parents wanted me to get a mobile phone, but I refused since I don't need one.
Initially, I was thinking that finding ways for youth to remove this software would be helpful - but then, parents would realise that they weren't getting any location data and would punish their youth.
Faking a location path sounds like it might be a better solution. I haven't tried them, but it seems that this Android app and this iOS app might be able to do that.
Of course, "forgetting" your mobile phone when you go out might also work occasionally.
