Hey all - i took the sat 1 in may 2004, only to discover in the days after, on this forum: "MAY SAT EXACTLY THE SAME AS APRIL 2003 SAT" Honestly, I love you guys - only people who could dig up something like that in an instant lol

anyway, im wondering if anyone has predictions for the october sat 1. any bets on which old sat the college board will pull out of their a** this time?

i think it will be either an old test because there using the NEW sat Now... or its gonna some extra hard SAT so they can test questions for NEW SAT... but most likely a repeat

im betting on an old to. My conjecture: not the 10 Reals, maybe another. 10 Reals seems to obvious.

i think it'll be something from 2002 or 2001.

BUT i'm willing to bet that college board won't write a new sat. They are too lazy to actually come up w/ a new test that would be useless in less than two months.

How can they recycle an old SAT? I don't really believe they can do that...

I didn't think they could recycle, especially entire tests. Every single book I've read about it talks about how once a question is asked (that's not in the experimental section), it can never be asked again on the SAT. If they did so, it would give anyone who took that test an unfair advantage and, thus, an inaccurate representation of their true score. Am I right? or just have too much faith in the CB?

well they did it once

well it cant be 10 reals.. but 2000-2002 they didnt release someright?

For the people who don't think it's possible:

IT IS !!! That's what the college board did in May 2004. The majority of the test was taken from a previous unreleased SAT, which was discussed on various sites on the internet including collegeconfidential.

Unfortunately i did not know this beforehand, or else I would have had a 1570+ for sure.

That is pretty scary. Even though it would benefit me a lot because I take a ton of sats, it is pretty sad the CB is too lazy to come up with a new test. The "new" sat a.k.a "just another ACT" comes out march 2005. Until then, they better make another old SAT, those slackers.

They don't reuse published tests. So you'll only have an advantage if you were really lucky and took the same test before. The best bet is not to expect anything and just prepare normally.

they reuse questions from published tests.

By Cooldude (Cooldude) on Friday, October 01, 2004 - 04:17 am: Edit

Yeah and i took the May 2004 test only to find it was written, property of collegeboard 2003

Hello, last year there were ppl talking about buying real SATs (that weren't published in 10 Real SATs) from the College Board. Anyone knows whether anyone has put those online? Or rather, where can I find real SAT practice tests online? I've been trying to search for the older versions of "Taking the SAT I Reasoning Test," but only the 2004-2005 and 2003-2004 versions seem to be available. Everyone knows that TCB publishes it every year and sends them out to high schools; some ppl must have put them online somewhere, right?

wow they are reusing the old SAT's....so where can we find out about which one their using next...ive taken classes and got 10 books.....and im not doing so great aRG

By Astrix (Astrix) on Tuesday, October 05, 2004 - 09:27 am: Edit

I was able to buy three tests from a test prep/application guidance company, which were certainly not in any of the 10 Reals. Guy was eager to sell more, at Rs. 150 a test. That's $3 for you. Or was it 250?

They seem real, but who knows :-/
