<p>In an attempt to improve the SAT/ACT forum, we have created 4 new sub-forums. The idea is to separate the specific issues about the tests from the more generic questions. </p>
<p>Having had a single forum for so long will make the switch to dedicated forums a bit strange at first. However, in a few weeks, most everyone will wonder how it worked with a single catch-all forum. </p>
<p>I expect some overlap between the general (the old) forum and the new SAT Preparation sub-forum. New posts about the AP, ACT, and Subject Tests (the old SATII tests) should be made exclusively in the new subforums. </p>
<p>During the weeks to come, I will move posts between the general and subforum and reevaluate the existing sub-forums. If you do not seem to find an older posts, check the dedicated subforums. </p>
<p>I remember that there was a discussion amongst CC members in the testprep forum about this a while back, but I had no idea that the idea would actually be enacted. Personally, I prefered the other way because now, as a senior who's finished taking SATs, I probably won't even bother with opening that forum, and it'll be harder for juniors and underclassmen to get senior help on the SATs. Like, if someone asks what the "best testprep book for ACT" is, the people with the highest scores on the ACT will probably be finished with it and therefore probably won't bother with going into that forum.</p>
<p>Yes, especially during standardized testing crunch time in April-May-June when people will be posting like crazy about SATs, SAT IIs, ACTs, and APs all at once. At least now more questions will be able to stay on the top page and it will be more organized and less crazy.</p>
<p>I love this idea! Thanks Trinity! :D This is good for people like me (seniors) who are done with the SAT/ACT/SAT2 or never took them but still need to prepare for the AP tests exclusively. I'm still adapting to it, but things are pretty smooth right now!</p>
<p>Thank you for your comments. The decision to split forums is a hard one because most posters hate changes. It is not easy to find the appropriate categories and decide what should remain in the original forum. One danger is to create too many sub-forums and lose the interaction of many posters. </p>
<p>So far, it seems to work well and very few threads had to be moved. We will continue to monitor the use for some time and make corrections when needed.</p>
<p>this is a good call, it cleans up this section alot and makes it easier to look for what we want. (as in someone looking for ACT answers wouldnt have to browse through 50 SAT threads</p>
