I assume it's a different exam also...?

probably different forms...i don't know...everyone has different forms on saturday anyhow.

 

[Psycho Doctor]

yea i suppose

but why the Sunday exam anyway? religious reasons? how many people take it?

 

[bella_dottoressa]

no idea. i don't know what religion would prohibit taking the test on saturday 8-5 over sunday as the alternative...the jewish sabbath starts saturday night...i don't know much about world religions though, grew up in a little catholic town...if you had a really big obligation on that saturday i could see it

Religious Jews take it on Sunday. No one really knows how many people use that option. Probably not more than 500-1000 at most, and no, it's not a different test, just one of the different forms used on Saturday. Otherwise they wouldn't be able to curve it fairly.

...the jewish sabbath starts saturday night..

The Jewish sabbath starts Friday night and ends Saturday night.

well they have ample time to find out about the test from people who take it on Saturday...that's clearly not fair

ahh, jeez, sorry. no disrespect! 🙂 i knew my world religion was poor but i thought i at least had judaism down somewhat.

but psycho, there's a bunch bunch bunch of different forms. there would be no way of knowing which form you were going to get and i don't think the odds are very good of miraculously being friends with the person who took it saturday who had the same form as you end up getting.

No apology necessary. 🙂

well even to say.."there's a lot of genetics" or something

 

[Psycho Doctor]

did you get something in your eyes?

and didn't you say you were leaving...

what happened?

 

[bella_dottoressa]

well yeah, but one form might have a ton of genetics and another might have a ton of ochem. there's no way of telling.

A. How much more can someone learn in one day?

B. You assume that people who are taking it on Sunday have the desire and means to cheat, which is an unlikely situation.

C. The reasons for taking the test on Sunday are valid enough to outweigh concerns about test security.

Depends on whether you've got a photographic memory or not (for part A) 😀

and in one day you can focus your attention on a certain area...that's all.
