mysterious changing answers (SAT practice test)

Hoe kunnen we je helpen?

I am currently using the SAT prep feature in Khan academy, and every time I take a mini timed quiz in the Reading and Writing section of the course, I find that the answers that I had selected during the test itself have been changed after I click the 'submit' button.

For example, during the test, let's say I select the 'B' answer (the correct answer) for question 2. Then, once I click the 'submit' button to finish the test and review my answers, I see that question 2 has been marked wrong, so I assume that I just got the answer wrong and 'B' was not the correct answer choice. However, when I click on the question to see what the correct answer really was, I see that 'B' IS the correct answer, but has not been counted as the answer that I originally selected. Instead, the website will say that I selected the 'D' answer instead.

This is really frustrating and it has happened for the past 3 times I have tried to take the tests. I originally thought that maybe I had just accidentally changed my answers when I was scrolling to the next question, but I just took another test and paid extra attention to my answers and triple checked them before I submitted -- and the same thing happened again.

Help?

Hi ejmorro,

My best guess here is that the answers may be randomized. This means that while something is "B" in the overview, it is randomized to "D" when you take it. Can you check and see if the text of the answer you are selecting is the same as what is shown as selected in the overview?

I don't understand what you mean by "overview". I don't get to see the questions before taking the test.

By "overview" I mean when you are reviewing the questions at the end of the timed mini-section.

this has been happening to me swell, and it's annoying because I'm choosing the right answer but it changes it and when I'm doing SAT practice is brings my overall score down so I don't know exactly where I sit
