font-family: Calibri;\">In March of 2016, the new SAT was unveiled, and just months later some of the questions were leaked.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-college-sat-security-special-report-idUSKCN10E25P\">Reuters <\/a>reported the questions that were exposed were reading passages, along with questions correlating with them, as well as about 160 math questions.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">At this time, it is unknown how many individuals have seen or have possession of the SAT questions.\u00a0 However, as a preventative measure, the administration is removing all of the forms that contain the content that was exposed. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">One of the major concerns beyond the breach, is the potential reputational damage this could have on the SAT exam.\u00a0 It is one of the most relied upon testing components for college admissions, and knowing the security for such important information is lackluster could create shadows of doubt.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">James Wollack, director of the Center for Placement Testing at the University of Wisconsin made this statement to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-college-sat-security-special-report-idUSKCN10E25P\">Reuters<\/a>: <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #000000;
