The seriousness of this problem

<p>In my country, many people are estimating that at least 250 students got, solved, and even memorized the answer for JAN 07 test.(because it is identical to DEC 05 test)</p>

<p>And we all guess that majority of those student scored less than 2000, but we are sure that all of them would score more than 2300.</p>

<p>You should remember how big this problem is; SAT is scored not by absolute methodology, but by comparative methodology. In other words, although you got only 3 wrong in the whole test, if your friends all score better than you, you would probably get relatively low score.</p>

<p>If the score is released, you will see a miracle this time, more than 300 students in a small country in East Asia scoring at least more than 2300.</p>

<p>Now probably we should celebrate the death of Collegeboard, and rebirth of ACT center.</p>

<p>P.S. I heard the news of "SUEING" collegeboard, and I personally think it would be great for the extra curricular activity ;) How creative that is! SUEING the authority. It will show how individual is challenging and creative.</p>

<p>P.S. I am postulating the result of this serious occasion as the total cancel of JAN 07 test and reasonable amount of compensate for loss of innocent student's effort, time, and even money.</p>

<p>P.S. Sorry for 2400 scorer who indeed studied at his/her will.</p>

<p>um i donna if it's gonna get that serious, but we'll see</p>

<p>this is like that movie they made a while ago "The Perfect Score". where the high school kids get access to the answers for the SAT. I never saw the movie though</p>

<p>I was pretty sure they set the curve before anyone took the test. In other words, those 300 students will have unfair scores or whatever, but it won't kill the rest of ours. =P</p>

<p>i dont really think ne thing is gonna happen. about the asia thing, how did they know that the dec sat was gonna be the same. and how did they get the test?</p>

<p>i mean if they got their hands on the dec test legitmately, then i dont care really. </p>

<p>as far as im concerned, i prepped for this test like a ***** and dont want to see my hard work gone down the drain cuz some fools think something was unfair. get over it, thats how life is sometimes.</p>

<p>Amen. (10 char)</p>

<p>btw dude, curve is determined BEFORE the testakers take the test. so JAN 2007 curve is based on DEC 2005 SAT Testers, not JAN 2007 testers.</p>

<p>Im not worried about them actually curving it (because they dont curve the SAT) but that our scores are pretty much meaningless if people saw the exam beforehand.</p>

<p>MNOAAA12, exactly my point. It's unfair to us, to the people who took the test before, and the future test takers of SAT.</p>

<p>what im worried about is that im expecting a pretty good increase im my scores after looking at some of the answers to the questions on the posts. so i dont want the college to think that i got an unfair advantage or any feckin thing like that</p>

<p>so does anybody have the dec 2005 curve?</p>

<p>damn it. this is my last chance of SAT and i bet on this one to sharp up a final score for college.</p>

<p>if they cancel all those scores. i will have no college to go!</p>

<p>I highly doubt they'd cancel 250,000 scores.</p>

<p>lol yea need to find dec 05 cuve.</p>

<p>they wont anyways. maybe address a letter to all colleges to remind them being cautious about UNUSUAL high score from east asian applicants. i think basically chinese. although im a chinese myself.</p>

<p>Arthurbulla and cooldude are correct. The curve is determined before the test, so that small group of Asian kids will not hurt anyone else's score. </p>

<p>And to CJ2006, many kids I know scored about 200 points higher the second time they took the SAT, so don't worry that a big increase will signal an unfair advantage.</p>

<p>do ppl from different regions have different format of tests?</p>

<p>ok. so this test was pretty much similar to the DEC one. does that mean that the same thing can occur from time and again or it's just that it happened this time? i mean the test being repeated.</p>

<p>Does anyone know the Dec. 2005 conversion table? we can figure out the scores.</p>

<p>Hmm, i did the Dec 2005 paper....dayum I wish I retook =P I don't get, i'm sure there're people like me who did SAT in Dec 2005, and thought about retaking this time...so there'd be plenty of people who have an advantage.</p>
