Shining a Spotlight on the Dark Corners of the College Board

While various aspects of Alfaro’s posts may be questionable, I think we should not lose sight of the main issue. He makes very specific and troubling claims about CB procedure and test construction:

  1. There is no external review of test questions prior to insertion into operational forms for pretesting (Step 4 in the CB SAT Test Specifications);
  2. Flawed questions are occurring in experimental sections mid-test.
  3. Flawed questions may be occurring in non-experimental sections.

Is anyone following up on these claims? Why hasn’t Alfaro taken his story to the media?
