If it’s true that actual test questions were on a YouTube video before the test, there could be repercussions…

To clarify, 5 of those type of questions. Not the questions verbatim.

These seem like common problems. Posters on Reddit have said do all the question from the question bank, khan academy, practice exams should cover most/all possible types of questions.

I envy you! I am so close to my DC that they share everything, and talk at length to me every day about everything- sometimes some distance and being ignored like this would be nice!

“Good but hard” is what I got

Our daughter’s first time testing was this morning. She said every question was in line with the previous college board test study questions although she had to do more back solving on math than she did on practice tests.

You and she should google which schools require this. It’s very few of note. Georgetown, Penn, Howard, Cornell, Colgate and a bunch of random schools she’s probably not considering.

Most of those stopped requiring all scores several years ago. The only one left that requires all scores is Georgetown.

It wasn't curved this spring. My kid got 1 wrong in May and a 790.

The variations between test administration do not see fair, especially if they don’t curve.

I think how many points they get off per wrong question may fluctuate. There aren’t exactly 80 questions in each section.
