[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The math second module was way harder than any practice blue book test. [/quote]my kid just took it today and said exactly this.[/quote]

Same. Felt good on practice DSAT and said there were a couple of math problems in the second module that he had no clue how to do.[/quote]

Mine too! Relieving to hear that is common experience. He’s not shooting for sky high score but nice to know maybe this doesn’t mean he didn’t do terribly[/quote]

Same here. Math module 2 was extremely hard for many, many test takers who had done really, really well in test practice. This is all over the internets...

Test takers discussing are talking about curved results. I don't think they are technically curved but I do think scores are somehow adjusted for difficulty depending on test date, but the information I have found is not clear. Specifically, what I found on College Board was too short, general and vague, but prep companies do describe some score adjustment to make it equal across test dates ("while emphasizing it's NOT curved"). Anyone seen a comprehensive, transplant, and clear explanation from an original source, which I assume would be the College Board?

They do something called “equating”.
