You have a math kid. My DC thought the math was easy. There was only one question he struggled with answering. He had a 760 on his last SAT in math. He is trying to get his English score up.

My kid has a math 790 and did not think the math was easy. There were a bunch of tricky problems.

As others said, not all kids got the same questions. Some students seemed to have gotten even trickier problems in M2.

Ok, unless your kid took all the tests there is no way to know if one was "trickier" than the other. But let's say that this is true, harder questions might also have been "test questions" that don't count.

And what is harder for one kid may be easier for another. Everyone's math knowledge and background varies.

How exactly does "equating" scores work? Isn't it supposed to adjust for differences in difficulty among versions of the SAT taken on different months?

Yeah 1 wrong on an easier test could land you at 770, 1 wrong on the hardest could still be an 800.

It’s such a gamble. Hoping my kid will do better on the harder one since it is more forgiving.

So for the harder test, is it one wrong on a specific question, or as long as one gets one wrong on any of the M2 module on the harder one, it could still be 800?

The scoring scale is different for every set of questions. Different questions have different weights; the points per question are not linear, unlike with the paper test. There is no way to answer your question.

Mine also had a 710 BC Cal student and thought math was easy. Is trying to bring up math score.

My BC calc student also thought the math was easy. Trying to bring the English score up. Did not think the English portion was easy (took AP Lang in May and got a 5).

^ The reading skills you need in English class are very different from those tested by SAT

No. Scores are released in the morning eastern time, usually between 6 and 8. Not all scores are released at once. They are released throughout the day.

Do the students receive an email notifying them that the scores are available, or do they need to just check it themselves until they are posted?

Typically an email is sent a couple of hours after the scores are available in the student's College Board account.

Tomorrow this thread will be overrun with terrified moms..."I don't have my score! I can't see my score! Do you have your score?! Why don't I have my score?!"

Out of interest, how (immigrant parent, took the TOEFL, not the SAT).

Sorry, meant to respond to the post that said the SAT tested different skills than the English class.
