<p>This has been irritating me for a while and I’ve actually done it a couple times myself- Asking for help on official SAT questions (blue book, mostly) without specifying which test you got the question from. I like working the problems asked and/or helping people that post here, but there’s been a few times where I’ve had Blue Book questions spoiled because I already saw them on the forums here. I’m sure this has affected others too, since most of us are currently working through the BB.</p>
<p>What I’m talking about would be to put something like:
“I got this question from test 6 in the Blue Book.
If 2x+3=11, what is x?” in your post.</p>
<p>I would usually forget even if they didn’t say the test, but I agree.</p>

<p>That’d be great if people would explain where they got their questions from. In reality, people won’t so all I can tell you is that if you see a few questions from the BB don’t fret over it. I know it will mess you up in that when you see it again you’ll get it right, you won’t spend time on it, and you’ll doubt your math score for that particular exam. But what you’re asking is impossible :-, ■■■■■■ will definitely not warn you. So…don’t fret over it. Seeing a few won’t make or break your score is what I’m getting at. Just take advantage of the problem. If you see it on the forums and it takes you 2 minutes to solve, when doing the actual exam, in that math section deduct 2 minutes if you really want to. Honestly, don’t fret :D. It’s a small thing, but its annoying as hell, but what can ya do about it? </p>
