[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I attended a dsat presentation last night put out by Princeton review. Even they didn’t know the amount of point deductions and caps that will happen as a result of the track your kid goes on. 
I found the new scoring ridiculously unfair and they implied that scores can be lower on the digital version vs paper format esp. for poor test takers.
The worst part is that the questions formats are much different than paper version and since this is so new, there isn’t a lot of test prep available (although this does level the playing field). They showed a few examples and shared some strategies and my dd, who has done a little prep for the paper format, said that it won’t be useful for the digital version. 11th graders, like my dd who did not score well on a paper version and now have to take the digital version will find any prior prep mostly useless. With that said, she thought the  math was easier but found the verbal trickier. Maybe this will end SaT once and for all.

I attended a webinar for private schools about a month or so ago and the presenter was quite knowledgable.  He indicated that if the student ends up on the module B path, their section score is capped at around 600-650.  He shared this interesting graphic which shows the mix of difficult, moderate, and easy questions (difficult being the darkest color).

Also, a student who gets less than 2/3 of the first module correct will end up on the B path.

Note: This graphic appears to have a type in that they flipped module A and B.  A is the harder path, not B. But this still gives you a feel for the level of difficulty for each path.
