I found this link from the Denver Post, a news organization:
However, this story says that parents complained because their kids had already prepared for the ACT and were angry about the sudden, unexpected change to a very different test. There is nothing in the story about incorrect CB test construction procedures or defective questions.
@theshadow I did read the post about the gallon and glasses question. But it is difficult to verify whether the student is accurately reporting the content of the question.
I also found the following response to Alfaro’s posts from Alan Bernstein, a CB Senior Director:
“You make the claim that the questions on the new SAT are poorly written and ambiguous and you cite the June misprint as an example. The June misprint was from the previous version of the SAT, not the new version. Your evidence in this case does not support your claim. A plausible alternative explanation for why some tutors may be advising students not to take the SAT is that the College Board partnership with Khan Academy is making their work irrelevant.”
Since Khan Academy has now made the work of tutors irrelevant, why doesn’t CB allow tutors to take the SAT?
