<p>Hello, </p>
<p>I had a question.</p>
<p>What is the limit of using educational material like any companies (PR, Barons, CollegeBoard) SAT or ACT material ?</p>
<p>If I wanted to make some videos/guides going through some of these would it be considered copyright infringement?</p>
<p>I don't plan on making money on any of this, I just know some friends who need some help and I don't have time to sit down with each and every one of them.</p>
<p>Like KhanAcademy style or something. </p>
<p>I’m assuming it’s ok because you aren’t profitting. I know for a fact that Khan Academy actually uses the exact questions from the official SAT study guide, so there’s that. Not 100% sure though.</p>
<p>Ok, so as long as I am not profiting I can use any educational materials I can find online? </p>
<p>@Academiac I don’t think you’d have an issue if you only share the videos with the people you’re making them for</p>
<p>Well I wanted to share this with the general public as I scored both a 2400 and 36 as well as various 800’s on SAT II’s and wanted everyone to have access to all my materials, but I can’t write my own questions. </p>
<p>What books would you be using?</p>
<p>I would most likely use whatever I could get my hands on that seems like it has good reviews as accurate.</p>
<p>ACT Official Book
SAT Official Book
SAT Official Online Course
Princeton Review Stuff (I have a lot)
SAT/ACT Released Tests
NYSED Regents Exams
Kaplan 10 ACT’s</p>
<p>Whatever really…</p>
<p>PR 1296 would be swell :)</p>
<p>Yeah, I plan on doing that. </p>
<p>I want people to learn from what I have to offer, I am just afraid of what legal issues restrain me at this point. </p>
<p>@academiac</p>
<p>One can provide explanations to any of the official questions from the ACT or SAT, and this can be in the form of print or video. The venture does not have to be restricted to non-profit. The key is that you cannot post the entire question, because both ACT and SAT writers have copyright on the question. </p>
<p>Of course, a lot of people do post the entire question and make a video on top of that. Youtube is full of that. For example, you will see in the following channel:
<a href=“SAT Math - Part 2 - YouTube”>SAT Math - Part 2 - YouTube;
<p>There are others as well. The problem is that College Board/ETS can easily shut down these channels if they chose to do so. They are probably not going to waste their time on that, but it is a possibility. </p>
<p>If you notice Khan Academy does not post the entire question in their videos on the Official SAT guide, and that is precisely because of the copyright issue.</p>
<p>I cannot comment on doing this from other sources such as Princeton Review, etc. I don’t know how they would respond, may be they will go after you. However, in any case most of the fake SAT/ACT like problems in test prep books are not worth wasting one’s time so it is best to just focus on the Official Guides for both SAT and ACT. This is just my opinion based on experience.</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
