Using ChatGPT to Generate Adaptive SAT Mock Tests: Our Experiment

Hey HN, we've been working on an interesting experiment at EdisonOS that might pique your curiosity. We're in the edtech platform space, and our primary offering is an infrastructure that allows anyone to set up their own online education platform without a dev team.

But here's the kicker: we've recently been playing around with ChatGPT to generate Digital SAT questions. As you may know, the College Board announced that the 96 year test is going Digital (already live in the international market) and only provides a limited set of four official mock tests for Digital SAT prep. We saw this as an opportunity to experiment with Gen AIs to create additional, practice material. We used ChatGPT to generate questions based on the format and style of the official SAT mock tests. The results were surprisingly good. Not only did the questions resemble the actual SAT questions in complexity and structure, but they also allowed us to create an adaptive testing environment.

We've documented our experience in a blog post, including a link to the ChatGPT-generated mock test if you're interested in taking the test yourself.

I would love to hear your thoughts on the potential (and pitfalls) of using machine learning to augment Testprep.
