🤔The November 2019 SAT was Reused in Almaty October Test?

According to our students' reports, the questions on the recent test were identical to the questions on the November 2019 test. Yet, the fact that the College Board reuses some of its tests several times is not unusual.

We have investigated this issue and compiled the information that may help you prepare for the exam more efficiently.

⚡️How does College Board prepare and release the SAT exams?

• Although test-takers globally are supposed to get an identical test, College Board prepares several variations of a single test, called unreleased tests.

• After the exam passes, the "actual" test materials and the test's curve (grading coefficient) are released through the paid QAS (Question and Answer Service).

• Yet, unreleased non-QAS materials are, likewise, leaked on unofficial websites like Reddit (here is the most popular subreddit).

⚡️So, why was the previous test reused?

Legally, College Board has the right to use the past tests as long as they are not officially disclosed to the public, which happened on December 2018 International, May 2021 International, and August 2021 International (more info here).

At times, the information on which unreleased test will appear on the actual SAT date is made available (although these posts are deleted by the moderators on Reddit for legal reasons).

⚡️So, what should you do?

Undoubtedly, accessing unreleased material is unethical and illegal. Moreover, College Board effectively spots cheating and cancels scores (as was in August 2021). Yet, we recommend using the Official Practice Tests and Released QAS to prepare for the exam.

We argue that preparing for the test by studying the related topics and doing extensive practice is a much safer strategy to achieve the desired score. We will get back to you regarding the relevant materials quite soon. Stay tuned 🤙

Based on that, we recommend you pay attention to the following factors when choosing online courses: ⚡️The amount of resources and study materials should provide you minimum 2 hours of workload a day.
⚡️The course should be operating for at least a year and have reviews.
⚡️Its price should not be more than $100 (although it is only our subjective opinion).
⚡️It should enable you asking questions regarding the content and participate in live Q&A sessions.


#PreparationTips Hi! Today we are going to continue discussing different methods of preparing for SAT. In particular, we will go through different aspects of preparing using online courses and give some advice on how to choose them.
📈Advantages
⭐️Online courses are similar to preparing on your own in terms of versatility. If the courses are of good quality and have well prepared study plans with uploaded videos, you can study at the pace convenient for you. Please keep in mind that preparing for SAT is not easy, it takes a great amount of time and dedication. Thus, the material base of the good online course should be quite big, covering all the aspects of preparation, such as Verbal part, Math part, and additional Vocabulary learning section. The workload they give you in terms of their study plan should be at least 2 hours a day. Otherwise, we can suspect that the course creators either were too lazy to make proper amount of content or underestimated the test hardness. ⭐️Despite their similarities, there is one aspect of online courses that self-studying lacks - availability to ask questions. Good quality courses provide students feedback on their success and organize Q&A sessions.
📉Disadvantages
⭐️Sometimes it is very hard to choose the online course that fits your preferences. You will not know if the course is of good quality and suits your study methods unless you buy it and use for a while. To avoid paying for the course you will not study, try reading reviews or watching YouTube videos about it (some bloggers make videos on their preparation experience). ⭐️Another disadvantage is also linked to money. There are many courses that are overpriced. Creators make fancy videos and interface design and charge much more than the real price of the course. From our point view, paying $500-1000 for “exclusive” and “luxury” courses is simply wasting your money, as there are many good quality courses under $50.
