Texas Test-Prep Company Sued
The College Board in Texas has filed a lawsuit against Karen Dillard’s College Preparation school for using the college’s official documents in making their preparation courses.
Education Week reports that the Board has also accused the company of copying original test questions and using them for their SAT and PSAT preparation courses.
The lawsuit, alleging copyright infringement, could bring attention to the burgeoning test-prep industry, which some critics contend gives well-off students an unfair advantage on entrance exams.
It is reported that executive director Mathew Novotny obtained a copy of the PSAT administered Oct. 17 from his brother, Michael Novotny, who is the principal of Test-Prep Company. On the official website of the Karen Dillard’s Preparation School, the president of the school Karen Dillard calls the lawsuit as unfair.
