<p>They could make a fortune off them since I'm sure we'd all buy them as practice tests. Instead we wait for one person to photocopy a test then we get it illicitly. Why can't they just sell them? They used to, you know! </p>
<p>Let's petition?</p>
<p>So what you're saying is that you WANT CB to make a fortune.</p>
<p>Haha no, arachnotron is saying that it would work out for everybody.</p>
<p>But yeah you're right</p>
<p>I mean, tests from PR are ok, but there's nothing that can really prepare you like a good CB exam.</p>
<p>Well, I think it's because they reuse questions?</p>
<p>Well, the QAS booklets are released to people who took the exam, so that can't be it, because that'd give previous test takers an advantage. No, no, that can't be the reason.</p>
<p>Not really sure. But with the BB + OC + Official Booklets (2 different tests despite 4 years of booklets :( ) = 16 tests. Sure more tests would be nice, but if you've taken and carefully reviewed 16 practice tests, how much more can you expect to improve?</p>
<p>I am taking the SAT on 24th Jan and will start doing these practice tests + the BB practice tests about 10 days before the test date.I am reviewing the grammar now after just finishing the Barron`s 3500 vocab list ;]
Anhtimmy what score did you get /</p>
<p>2270 in Oct and Dec :/
2300 superscored.</p>
<p>Wow you memorized 3.5k words + more? Crazy o_o</p>
<p>Not bad.I am hoping for a 2250 ;] .If you are going to take it again,PM me.</p>
<p>I can't take another one if I wanted to :P</p>
<p>why not ;] ?</p>
<p>Better question would be why he'd want to retake a 2300! <em>cough</em> not that I did that or anything <em>cough</em></p>
<p>cb doesn't want its tests to be practiced so extensively that its every trick is cracked by everyone and ran out of business</p>
<p>This is a good point.The SAT follows some standarts.Though there are lots of vocab lists and different math practice questions,there is some unique on every single SAT test .These ''unique'' thing does NOT make the specific test harder than the previous or the following ones,it just makes it different.</p>
<p>There aren't "tricks" on the SAT. Preparing for the SAT is just getting your mind used to dealing with unfamiliar situations. Every SAT is different an unfamilliar, but your toolkit of problem solving strategies increases as you prep.</p>

why not ;] ?

Because it wouldn't help to send it to colleges that don't accept Jan :P</p>
<p>...</p>
<p>Why would I study for the SAT if I'm never going to take it again? lol</p>
<p>:P</p>
<p>If College Board sold old tests it would do a lot of damage to the whole test prep industry, including their own products. It's also in their interest to not help you do too much better, as you might not take the actual SAT as many times.</p>
<p>(Also, many people still wouldn't buy from them and would get tests illegally)</p>

<p>But...but...they used to! During the old administrations, they sold the QAS' directly for like $18. I think they made more money per QAS than they do now with the blue book!</p>
<p>College Board reuses questions from time to time. It doesn't matter if they are released to those who have already taken the test, because these people could very easily distribute them to someone who has not yet taken the test.</p>
<p>That's why they have the policy where you're not supposed to discuss test questions with anyone, ever. Not even if 10 years have passed since you took the test. (Of course nobody abides :D)</p>
