CollegeBoard repeating SAT tests?

<p>Ugh. The 2008 March SAT was the 2010 October International SAT and the 2013 March Sunday SAT. What do you think about this?</p>

<p>I also heard about a SATII Chem being repeated from a few years ago on the last Jan/Dec sat. It definitely is disappointing to see such an important test is being reused from an earlier year…</p>

<p>will the curve be the same as well? because march 2008 had a NASTY curve</p>

<p>Not the same…just look at CC discussion from the March 08 one and the 2010 october international one…</p>

<p>@MarchSAT: I don’t know where you looked, but here are the two threads. If you’ll notice, both pages talk about the use of “vituperative” as a sentence completion option.</p>

<p>Nearly all international tests are recycled US (unreleased) tests. It’s absolutely unconscionable and it encourages cheating, as we’ve seen repeatedly and are seeing now in Korea. A six-month investigation of cheating hagwons is in progress right now in Seoul, and SAT-II Chem scores from January have already been cancelled for students who attended a hagwon that had answers ahead of time.</p>

<p>@marvin100: Not only international tests, but Sunday tests as well. We pay CollegeBoard $50 to take these exams each time, the least they could do is ensure fair practices.</p>

<p>@Careful</p>

<p>Both threads you posted contain no questions from the most recent Saturday March SAT. I took it myself and I reviewed that thread. I recognized none of the questions being discussed.</p>

<p>@ArchLiving: The March 2013 SUNDAY SAT, as in today.</p>

<p>there’s not much you can do about it, but can anyone confirm if its true that the saturday US tests are always new ones?</p>

<p>Do they have a pattern of recycling SAT examinations? I am taking the SAT in May, does anyone assume that it will be a copy from an earlier date? I will not cheat, but I am curious because I thought all the SAT examinations were original.</p>

<p>For the last 5 years or so, ALL SATURDAY tests are new.</p>

<p>Does that mean that non-Saturday examinations are reused?</p>

<p>No, it’s extremely unlikely to be recycled, assuming you’re taking it in the U.S.</p>
