[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps it is not the test getting more difficult.  Maybe it's the students.  This year's students went through covid, around the time they were studying algebra.  It shows in the sat test how much they have learnt.  [/quote]

Many, many students who have taken multiple SATs the first half year with the new adaptive digital test, say the March and August tests had very hard second math parts, while the other ones were a tad easier.

Also, pretty much unanimous that widely available practice test are easier than the actual tests, and very much so for the March and August tests. That's a bit frustrating of course. My DC decided tutoring would be good, and just a few sessions made a big difference. Of course don't know the results until 9/6 but DC really felt good about the most difficult math problems. (English part always went very well for whatever reason).

Did your child think yesterday’s math was not that hard.[/quote]
DP. Mine thought there were a few really odd questions on the math that were hard. It was not an easy test in math by any means, but there were really only those few questions that stood out. Here's hoping they were experimental, though we'll never know. He thought the verbal difficulty was more expected/similar to practice tests.

Different kids get different sets of questions, which makes it hard to truly compare difficulty among students who took the test on the same day.[/quote]
