In such high-stakes, emotive testing, it is anticipated that some pilots and air traffic controllers will try to cheat in their attempts to achieve Operational Level 4. This paper looks at why they may do this, areas of test security which may be compromised and best practices in how to reduce the risk of cheating.rnLittle research has been published on security in language testing. This may in part be due to the fact that little has been done on the subject, but it is also no doubt partly influenced by testing authorities' reluctance to admit that candidates cheat on their test and the institution's understandable self-interest in not publicising how their test's security may be compromised.
