[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I don't actually think it's legal, the way in which Pearson is trying to keep the proprietary nature of the exams and curriculum so closed. Parents and students have a right under the federal law, FERPA, to see all tests, including the specific answers recorded, the test questions, the test administration protocol and any data generated with a personalized student ID attached. You also have a right to ask questions, i.e. discuss it with appropriate teachers and staff.

If your child takes the PARCC and you want to see his answers and the questions, you should write a FERPA letter. I don't think the school can deny access. [/quote]

This is very interesting.  I'm pretty sure my son got his SAT score back with the questions and answers so that he could look to see what he missed and what the correct answers were.  It was online I think.  I can't recall, but I think he got the same thing for his PSAT.  Does anyone else remember this?  [/quote]

There's a difference between a company releasing  test questions and answers after an administration window has closed, and someone else sharing that info while the window is still open.  I don't know if the SAT and PSAT send out the answers, but they certainly don't do while people are still taking the same version of the test.  With time zones, there are people who start the SAT 23 hours before other people.  There have been cases where people have used this time to create and sell pencils will all the answers written on them to people on the other side of the world.  I would consider this cheating.
