<p>[SAT</a> scores for students who used test-prep firm may be thrown out | Dallas Morning News | News for Dallas, Texas | Latest News](<a href=“http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/latestnews/stories/022208dnmetsatfears.32126b2.html]SAT”>http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/latestnews/stories/022208dnmetsatfears.32126b2.html)</p>

<p>My sister used this place, and got accepted to Texas A&M, where I go, on Wednesday night</p>

<p>Karen Dillard the company definitely needs to get hit, but why punish the students? They didn’t know of the violation. And having an old test isnt a huge leg up. I did 8 of them that the college board released. Was the headline sensationalist, or should we be concerned?</p>

<p>What frustrates me is that I don’t think these places are necessary to get a good SAT score, nor did I think they’re worth the insane costs on people who dont have a ton of money.</p>

<p>You are right on both counts - the kids shouldn’t be punished, and “these places aren’t necessary to get a good SAT score, nor are they worth the insane costs.” </p>

<p>How does the College Board know who went to Karen Dillard? </p>

<p>I’d check with Texas A&M and see what they say.</p>

<p>Yeah, I dont know how they could find out who the clients were. I’m not going to advertise that she dealt with that place. I may pose a general question with an anonymous email account.</p>
