Unfair SAT policy?

<p>College Board is repeating SAT examinations!</p>

<p>For example, the following tests are all the same:
- December 2009 US SAT
- January 2012 International SAT
- March 2012 Sunday SAT
- May 2013 Sunday SAT (Today)</p>

<p>This isn't right. With a little luck, people can walk into the testing room knowing the answers just by skimming the internet. In addition, since vocabulary books are based on past words that have shown up, students could have a leg up when answering sentence completion questions.</p>

<p>If they aren't going to stop repeating tests, they need to at least cut back on how many times they are repeated. They produce a new SAT test every month, why do they need to repeat a test not once, but THREE times?</p>

<p>Do you think it's right that College Board does this?</p>

<p>Honestly I thought the test was not so easy although I thought I did well. The math was somewhat hard and the reading was a little tricky. The collegeboard should not be using the same tests 3 times!</p>

<p>I did not know that there was an SAT today? It wasn’t in America was it?</p>

<p>@mash101: It was a Sunday test, which the College Board allows for religious individuals.</p>

<p>I was told that SAT 2012 Nov (International version) is same as 2008 June (Domestic Version).</p>

<p>Yes, the recycling policy is absolutely unfair and leaves the door open to cheating. It’s one of the main ways cheaters here in Korea have gamed the exam. I believe the new test schedule in Korea is designed to prevent this, but of course students (with $) can still fly to Japan and take the recycled int’l tests…</p>

<p>How do they get the recycled international tests? i thought they were unreleased.</p>

<p>In addition, I don’t think it’s unfair, because there’s no way anyone can predict what the next SAT test will be. He won’t know the answers, unless he studies all recycled tests, which is kind of impossible, because sometimes CB goes 4 years back. E.g Nov 2010 international : Nov. 2006.</p>
