Do they exist?
Well, I guess that is the question, coach.
I love you, man.
Now, about the SATs. My SATs were not terribly impressive (my girlfriend's brother scored a perfect 800 on the math for comparison). But coming from a little coal region town and little coal region school, my 1450 wasn't shabby. So anyway, when a friend of mine who had a hardscrabble youth wanted to get into a teachers' college, he sat next to me during the SATs at our high school. He was in the row next to me, so theoretically, he had a different form, because the text proctors gave each row a different form (A, B, C, and so on). But he copied from me anyway. When the results came back, he had made a little too steep a leap from his first outing, so first I was called into the office, then he was called later. The guidance counselor was straight with me. He said so-and-so made too steep an improvement, and he saw the seating chart, and how did we do it? What baffled him was that the forms (and questions) were different for my friend and me. Well, the guidance counselor and I both had the light bulb go on at the same time. Despite the different forms, the company grading the tests must have used one answer key. It was the only theory that made sense. You couldn't alter the Form designation on the tests. A was A. B was B. But using one answer key would have been faster and cheaper with minimal errors.
By the way. That friend got into college and became a massive success at what he did. He was kind of a "Welcome Back, Kotter" success story, but he did better than Kotter.
