[quote=Anonymous]OP, go to the wikipedia page for the history of the SAT and read the entire history. It's been recentered around 4 times, not including whatever is going on with the new digital test.

The digital SAT, which debuted in 2024, has adaptive scoring, and different weights for different questions, a major departure even from the 2016 test. Whether the difficulty is "easier" overall belies the fact that it is still not easy to get a high score. Easier than 1990, yes, but not easier than 2016 or some other time in the 2000s.

As of 2016, ETS no longer writes the test - College Board does. I don't know whether this changed again with the digital test, but there is a question shortage, and kids have seen repeat questions on different administrations of the digital test. One would think this would make it easier, but the practice material at the level of the actual test is lacking. There are only a few of the official practice tests that approach the difficulty of recent administrations.[/quote]
