[quote=Anonymous]So it's established that: 1) more people prep 2) guessing penalty was eliminated 3) scores were adjusted/re-normed in 90s so that they are higher. These adequately explain why scores are overall much higher. (Test Optional explains why certain colleges' median scores are much higher but that is not the question here.) But is it actually true that the questions are easier as a few PPs have suggested? I have mixed feelings about this topic. I went to a prep school in the 80s where it was absolutely the norm to prep. I vaguely remember the the money-back guarantee that prepping would raise SAT scores by 200 points. As a scholarship student, I did not prep. If prepping exists at all--and, yes, it is unfair that it does--better that more be included than a select few. I don't know why the College Board decided to re-norm but I also don't see the change as a huge problem. I am genuinely curious whether the questions are actually easier as suggested.[/quote]
