LOS ANGELES — Identical twins Kayla and Kellie Bingham share more than physical attributes. They both enjoy running, are competitive soccer players and love trivia nights. In school, they received similar grades and standardized exam scores.
The women, now 31, didn't give their similarity much thought — it just came with being a twin. Then, in 2016, they were accused of cheating in medical school.
A professor who was remotely monitoring an eight-hour exam noticed that the twins were progressing similarly though the questions and had many of the same incorrect answers. To her, that meant they were cheating.
