The fact they reuse parts of the test is also absurd.

Same test

Sorry for the bump, but I just took this test last week (officially, Sunday testing, apparently they reuse tests.) I thought that one of the questions was super ambiguous, the one about the dinosaur. Most people agreed that the answer was anomalous, but other people and I did not agree (others thought it was prototypical)... I sent an email to the collegeboard and they said my inquiry was "fantastic" and would pass on the message on to a supervisor, even though they did imply that the answer was in fact prototypical. That would explain, IMO, why a lot of people thought that they scored significantly worse than the forums told them. The only reason I picked prototypical for the answer was because the question said that the dinosaur was NOT streamlined, meaning it was not modernized, thus implying that it was primitive. A well-known synonym for primitive is prototypical, and while anomalous makes sense in that the skeleton was different, it does not address the "streamlined part.."
Hahahahah if any of you guys even bother to relook at this page let me know what you thought, of if any of you got an 800 on CR and perfect SC answers let me know which you put..
Thanks and sorry again for this post a year later....
