My dd taking it her 3rd time thought it was harder than she expected.

Is it norm referenced?

DC's 4th time and said it was the worst. By far.

My kid and friends went through this last year.
---the actual tests are always more difficult than the blue book exams
---the tests vary by month and by taker---not everyone gets the same questions. I think the key to the Digital SAT is to take it 3+ times. Which really sucks and makes me hate the College Board but it seems like the way to go.

August test date is a popular one..they know this and make tests hard"er"

Reddit posts seem to suggest that it was a hard test.

And lots of stats questions

Maybe they didn't make it to the harder module

My kid seemed to think it was fine. We will see how he does

Seemed like problems that are typically easy were difficult and problems that are typically difficult were easy.

Harder than practice tests. Could not finish reading/writing part 2.

My kid got out and said it was way harder than the last one, especially the English section

What did your kid think?
