If you suspect a breach of test security, you should ...

• A. Ignore it unless you are sure.
• B. Report the suspected breach to the appropriate authority.
• C. Publicly accuse someone without evidence.
• D. Fix the issue yourself by editing the test.

Answer: (B)

When testing integrity is in question, the right move is to report the suspected breach to the person or office responsible for test security. This ensures the issue is handled formally, with proper evidence and documentation, so an appropriate investigation can take place without compromising fairness for other test-takers. It also protects everyone's rights and keeps the process consistent with policy and legal rules. Ignoring the concern, publicly accusing someone without a proper investigation, or trying to fix the problem by editing the test would undermine the test’s integrity and could cause harm or legal issues. Reporting channels exist so that trained officials can determine what happened and what steps to take next.
