LONG ISLAND, N.Y., Nov. 22 (UPI) -- Long Island police have arrested 13 more students in an SAT test-taking investigation that brought charges against seven others in September.

Five of the students who allegedly paid attended Great Neck North High School, two went to North Shore Hebrew Academy and one each went to Roslyn High School and St. Mary's High School, all in Long Island. Their names had not been released because of their age. They face misdemeanor charges.
