College Board responded yesterday to the #rescoreJuneSAT complaints with a FAQ page. It is a document which has been very carefully worded, presumably by PR professionals. It makes technically accurate statements while dodging the serious substance of the complaints.

TLDR: The evidence to tell isn't public at this point. It would be much easier to tell if College Board released specific technical data on the test.

Reddit and Twitter have been in an uproar about the results from the June 2018 SAT. Many students are upset that missing only a handful of questions has dropped their scores precipitously, and have been expressing their outrage with the hastag #rescorejunesat.

This is part three in my analysis of the changes to the SAT. Part 1. Part 2.

Another forthcoming change to the SAT is the number of answer choices per question: there will be four rather than five options for all questions. This is another way in which the new SAT will more closely resemble the ACT, which already uses four-choice questions for all the tests except Mathematics.

This is the second installment of my commentary on the changes to the SAT. Part 1 is here

There are a few changes to the new SAT that I know people will be talking a lot about but which actually matter less than you might think they would to the test taker, although they matter quite a bit to the people making the test. Of these, one has received much press attention since the initial announcement: no more deduction for wrong answers.
