<p>worth the $18?</p>

<p>You should've ordered it earlier. Its amazing but takes forever to arrive. Is it worth knowing what you answered incorrectly on the previous SAT, learning from your mistakes, pinpointing areas which you still have trouble with, and potentially coring hundreds of points higher on the next exam worth the 18 dollars? Good question.</p>

<p>Yeah I totally thought it was worth it too! But like Quix said, I ordered it when I signed up for the test and it still took a while to arrive (probably like 3 months). I knew I'd be taking it again so I figured why not? I liked it though.</p>

<p>mine sucked because I took it in March. It costed me 10 bucks, but it's a just a piece pf paper telling me which questions I got wrong without a copy of the original test. It's like they sent me a more sophisticated version of my scantron with wrong answers on it... sigh</p>

<p>What if I'm not going to retake the test?</p>

<p>I hate the idea of giving the College Board even more money after what they charge us to even take the exam in the first place ($45) and send our scores to schools ($9.50 apiece!). And then you factor in those expensive prep books. Ridiculous.</p>

<p>^On the contrary, you could have signed up for a fee waiver.</p>

<p>QAS =/= SAS</p>

<p>QAS = good
SAS = bad</p>

<p>You happened to order the SAS. QAS is only available in OCT, JAN, and MAY.</p>

<p>^So that's why. =_=</p>

<p>Why do they choose to release test from the three fixed months? Is there anything special about these months?</p>

<p>Yes there is something special. Those 3 months were the ones that happened to be drawn out of the hat.</p>

<p>They choose 3 months to release tests so that they know which questions they have already released. They reuse plenty of questions, so they have to control which ones are released very carefully. Choosing a specific month means that they wont accidentally use a released question.</p>

<p>I see...So they do reuse questions...
This explains it. Last week I was doing an alternative PSAT(I think it was from either 2005 or 2004) I got from CB store, and one of the short passages looked strikingly similar to the one appeared on the March SAT I took. It might be one of the questions that they recycled.</p>

<p>They always reuse questions in all their tests. They use older questions as a basis for the curves that they assign.</p>

<p>So, is it worth ordering even if you don't plan on retaking?</p>
