[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of the handful of students.from whom we heard, September test was easier than August one. Why did they take it again this close to the Aug test? [/quote]
Because there is some inconsistency in difficulty of the digital test and tutors - or at least our tutor - is recommending retaking at least one or two more times in the next few months. Kid scored nearly two hundred points lower on August compared to practice test scores. And we are kicking ourselves for not having planned ahead to take September after hearing that some people felt their Sept version was easier than their Aug version.

It's a little hard to compare between students, because they don't all get the same questions, but in the aggregate it is apparent that a number of students felt that today's test was easier than what they personally faced in August. Additional caveats, sometimes perception isn't indicative of score and of course, at least theoretically, the standardization process should account for variance in difficulty. However, standardization of the digital product has seemed somewhat questionable.[/quote]
