<p>They say "you may never discuss the MC questions" on years where the MC is being released.. aka this year. </p>
<p>Laziness ?</p>
<p>They want you to buy their released exams, I’d assume.</p>
<p>This year’s exam is going to be released? Also, they only tell you that when it’s going to be released? I figured they have that rule EVERY year, regardless of whether the exam is going to be released or not.</p>
<p>It is because the way they make their multiple choice part of the exam:
They pretty much have a question bank where they can pull questions for the exam from. Each year typically is all new problems, but it’s not out of the ordinary to see an exact, word for word, repeated question from a previous year’s MC. Therefore, since there’s a chance they will reuse some problems, they don’t want anyone knowing what the problems are.</p>
<p>They don’t specify not to discuss MC only on the years where the MC is being released. They specify it on every MC, on every exam, for every year. It is consistent.</p>
<p>^ That’s what I thought. :)</p>
<p>I guess they make sure to use only a VERY select few of the repeating questions on the years they plan to release the exam, otherwise, they’d give a lot away.</p>
<p>^ If it were two weeks ago, I would have argued against that, saying that they would never reuse a question, word for word, from a released MC exam. However, this year on the Physics C exam, I noticed one of the problems was pretty much exactly the same as another problem on one of their released MC exams. This just exemplifies the manner in which they ask questions (repetive/similar questions are common), which you can use to your advantage (simply going through a MC is likely to increase how many you get right by a significant amount).</p>
