Since questions are reused, the company that found the error with the SAT's answer key, said other exams could have been affected.
BySome prospective college students received notice that their math SAT score increased because of a problem with the answer key. However, the company that discovered the error said students in previous years may have also been affected.
This reusing of questions is something that Adam Ingersoll, co-founder of Compass Education Group, a tutoring company, toldAbout two weeks ago, a Compass tutor in San Francisco discovered a non-multiple choice math question on the May 4 SAT exam did not account for all correct answers. It was reported to College Board, which investigated it and informed students on Friday if their scores were updated.
Ingersoll added that it's"impossible to say" how many errors there have been on exams, partially because every exam isn't able to be reviewed. Exams are administered in October, March and May and given that exams are expensive to create, questions are recycled. Only the May SAT is released publicly to all test-takers, though.
The tutoring company co-founder explained the College Board will use"various schemes and scheduling patterns" to try to reuse questions that maintain the test's integrity. However, SAT material has been shared on Reddit and even stolen. So, he called it"fanciful at best if not simply dishonest" to claim test reuse is fair for students who rely on officially released test material to prepare.

Toddler Unsettled By Whatever Possessed Her To Bite Friend’s FaceWESTON, CT—Visibly shocked and repulsed by her own behavior as she sat questioning the type of person she is deep down, unsettled 2-year-old Ellie Ritter admitted to reporters that she had no idea what compelled her to bite her friend on the face Thursday. “I honestly don’t know what came over me. I know Jacob took the train I was playing with, but I usually handle that kind of thing okay—but this time I…I bit him,” said a shaken and bewildered Ritter, sitting wide-eyed on a floor mat at her daycare as she vehemently asserted that she had no prior knowledge of this dark, disturbing place within her. “I mean, this is Jacob we’re talking about. He’s my friend, my playmate. And I just went straight for his forehead like an animal. Jesus, what is wrong with me?” At press time, the unnerved toddler was staring uneasily down at her trembling, fingerpaint-covered hands and contemplating what other horrors she was capable of.
