The headline kind of misses the main point, which is that the students have to retake the exam because cheating was so rampant, likely due to AI usage but that can’t be proven.
Between 2021 and 2025, 3.5 percent of test takers scored 100 or more on the 120-question UNAM test. This year, 16.3 percent did so.
The story was even worse at the highest of the high end. Between 2021 and 2025, 0.9 percent of test takers scored 110 or more; this year, 5.5 percent did so.
Yeah, I was saying the cheating being AI usage is what couldn’t be proven. They mentioned a few other possibilities like the tests being leaked or people working off camera with them.
But yeah, the cheating is obvious. And the likelihood of it being done by AI is damn near certain.

Statistics is a math developed to prove cheating. Moe outliers = more cheaters.
My institution is ending digital exams. We had a certain level of trust with students, that’s officially over.
Should probably phase out home essays, as well.
My recent exams were digital but heavily monitored. Couldn’t even use my own pen lol
Yeah, I’m in infosec and I had to pull browser history of students a lot last year because they used AI to cheat on exams.
