<p>since you used barrons, like i’m doing…exactly how much easier was the test than barrons?</p>

<p>when are marks avaliable?</p>

<p>does anyone know where to download formulas for my new TI89? I want to start learning how to use it. Thanks</p>

<p>Facts are: They will never use a question in the following month’s test.
However, they not only repeat a question verbatim, they run the ENTIRE TEST unchanged, always. Each test will be administered 4 times, in unpopular months, and then popular months, over a few year period, sometimes as close as two administrations apart! Then, a few questions will be thrown out from two different tests (didn’t perform statistically the way they were supposed to, had math issues, etc.) and the rest mixed and matched to form a “new” test. Thus, some questions have survived for over 20 years with no alterations. Also, occasionally they will kind of hot-swap a question for another on exactly the same topic. Or they will change the argument of a function. All of this is to create a certain set of response data, to make a question easier or harder in general, or to a certain group of scorers at a particular level.
After a test has been run in various forms for many years, the questions that are not used in concocting new Frankentests will appear on their website as sample questions. Fact is, there are very few tests floating around out there.</p>
