Reuse of SAT Questions

<p>My understanding of the CB's "question reuse policy" was that once a question is released to the public (i.e. through QAS), then that question is retired and will never again appear on an SAT. The only time questions or entire tests will be reused is if they are administered in March, June, November, or December, when QAS is unavailable. </p>

<p>If you look in the Blue Book, practice test #2, page 487, you will see question 6---the one about SETI scientists (answer is "wrongheaded. . chicanery"). I believe test #2 in the Blue Book is the January 2007 SAT. </p>

<p>This exact question appeared on the November 2008 exam---which was reused as the June 2013 Sunday test (I'm a Sunday tester---which is how I noticed the repeat).</p>

<p>How is this possible? The "SETI question" should never have been used again, right?</p>

<p>Recycling of test questions is standard practice, and in my opinion a big falling of the SAT. Many kids have cracked the code by spending hundreds of hours memorizing answers to questions. Top schools are looking for innovators but instead are getting pretenders. The new SAT must stop recycling.</p>
