Friday, June 20 was the end of the website ScoreTop.com.

It has also become the end for about 6,000 prospective business school students.

On June 20, the U.S. District Court made a decision in favor of the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) shutting down ScoreTop.com. In addition to the site being wiped out of internet existence, the GMAC will be allowed to analyze the hard drive with the payment information of all site users.

What is the connection to the GMAT?

The website, ScoreTop.com, was in the business of selling "live" questions to GMAT test-takers. BusinessWeek reported that some of the questions may have been submitted by students who had already taken the GMATs. That put test-takers at an unfair advantage, as usual study methods involve

practicing questions that have been on past GMAT exams.

The website charged over-worked, exasperated B-school students $30 to obtain the live questions. Now, these students will be subject to grave consequences.

Students that are guilty of using the site's services can expect the following:

1. Be expelled from B-school, if they're already enrolled

2. Have their current scores be canceled.

3. Not be allowed to take the test again.

The fate of guilty students hangs in the balance. Their dreams of business school success are torn asunder; cheaters never win.
