Why does College Board do this??

<p>Hey,</p>

<p>I just took the 2012 May International SAT my math section went very well only 1 answer wrong, my writing was pretty good too but my reading section was (beside the vocab) not really the best -- I just can't do all of the CR questions in that amount of time :( </p>

<p>I took the two int SATs before this one also and I noticed that CB uses the SATs from past years. For example this one was the 2009 December Int SAT <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/822301-december-sat-international-test-discussion.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/822301-december-sat-international-test-discussion.html&lt;/a> the one before was from a US SAT.</p>

<p>So my question is why does College Board do this, are they too lazy to make new test that thousands of people worldwide participate? And also why shouldn't a person (for example me) study and memorize the answers from the discussion topics of the past SATs and get a perfect 800 in each section?</p>

<p>Wow…that’s a little strange. It seems collegeboard assumes that you guys wouldn’t figure this out. They’re usually very strict about not doing anything that would tip off questions on an exam.</p>

<p>It’s not really ‘worldwide’ but rather ‘chinawide’, since only Chinese students would spend months and years to memorize old SAT and Toefl tests…</p>
