There was enough concern in the community about test prep companies "cracking the test" that they changed the test/process multiple times over the years. Affluent families who could afford these programs were buying their kids an unfair advantage in admissions.[/color] [/b]

In fact, back in 2017 the SB switched to quant-q, which intentionally didn’t share prep, in an effort to reduce this unfair advantage.

[i]“ “[b]Is it gonna once again advantage those kids whose parents can pay to sign them up for special prep camps[/b] to now be prepping for science testing as well?” Megan McLaughlin [FCPS School Board] asked when presented with the new plan.

Admissions director Jeremy Shughart doesn’t think so. The firm that markets the math portion of the test, [b]Quant-Q, doesn’t release materials to the public, a practice that should make them harder for test-prep schools to crack[/b].”[/i]
