2012 International SAT = June 2008 SAT

Test Preparation
1

<p>Could anyone who did the June 2008 SAT (US) post the curves you got for it please. Internationals just had the same test and I think the curve will be very similar.</p>

2

<p>How did you know the test was the same as the one in 2008 june?</p>

3

<p>i doubt they did the same test, but if they did then hey good for you!</p>

4

<p>we did have the same test. i checked on college confidential - the june 2008 discussion. it was up yesterday when i finished my test, but then they took it off as soon as they found out. ==</p>

5

<p>Has this ever happened before?</p>

<p>Also the curves; <a href=“http://www.erikthered.com/tutor/SAT-Released-Test-Curves.pdf[/url]”>http://www.erikthered.com/tutor/SAT-Released-Test-Curves.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>yeah it has. it always happens esp between international-US. apparently the october intl. test was the same as the nov 2010 us test.</p>

<p>You won’t find it on the curves for the released tests - because if they’re using it again, they won’t have released it! They do reuse tests, usually several years later to avoid the possibility of a given student taking the same test twice. Once they release it, and provide Q&A service, it won’t be used again, because the official answers are then available.</p>

<p>True, but there are old threads we can go back to and figure it out. I figured out that the Math one was lenient (phew) -4 (with penalty included for getting 3 wrong) gets 730. And a guy said he left 2 and got 6 wrong (not sure how many of those were in grid-in) and he got 680. So that’s a good math curve.</p>

<p>I’m going to go look for more data june 08 curves.</p>

<p>Yes. Virtually all International tests are re-used unreleased US tests. It’s totally shameful that the CB–a non-profit with revenue in excess of $100 million–can’t make a unique test for every sitting. They know for a fact that many “unreleased” exams have been pirated and are in circulation, and yet they do nothing. International=out of sight, out of mind.</p>

11

<p>No it is about the curve.If they make unique exams for us they would not be able to compare us with american students.</p>

12

<p>Except a TON of the international test-takers are American. International schools, base schools, etc…</p>

13

<p>(and curves are worked out well before the test is given–that’s what experimental sections are for, among other things)</p>

14

<p>Why did they repeat na? what if someone somehow got that test. Then his scores won’t be a realistic one</p>
