[quote=Anonymous]My kid took both August and September. She said August math was soo. soo. hard compared with the practice tests. And I went online for a reality check and ALL kids were saying that. She came out saying September math was soo. soo. easy compared with the practice tests except the last couple of questions. She ended up getting 10 points higher in math in September vs August (due to the curve). So the test seems valid in that way. One test may be way more difficult, but the curve accommodates it. Her math scores were roughly what she was getting on practice tests, I think. (I think she was disappointed by about 20 points.) Her verbal score (which she struggles with and didn't notice a big difference between sept and august) went down 40 points in the sept test. But since she didn't talk much about that one, I don't have any insight.[/quote]
