The College Board just announced that students who take the Saturday PSAT this next fall will not receive their test booklet with their scores. High schools will be required to mail the test booklets back with the score sheets.

Why this change in policy? We've got a few theories!

It is estimated that only 5% of students take the Saturday test. Most take the Wednesday PSAT. So, not releasing the questions means that the College Board can reuse some of the questions in future tests. Developing new test questions is expensive, and we guess that they figure the 5% won't squawk too much! But squawk you should. The purpose of the PSAT is to get students ready for the SAT. If they cannot see what they got wrong and why, what is the point of taking it? Well, other than possibly qualifying as a National Merit Scholar. 

So if your school traditionally chooses to offer the Saturday PSAT, make some noise. Your classmates will thank you for it.
