You have a math kid. My DC thought the math was easy. There was only one question he struggled with answering. He had a 760 on his last SAT in math. He is trying to get his English score up.
My kid has a math 790 and did not think the math was easy. There were a bunch of tricky problems.
As others said, not all kids got the same questions. Some students seemed to have gotten even trickier problems in M2.

Yeah 1 wrong on an easier test could land you at 770, 1 wrong on the hardest could still be an 800.
It’s such a gamble. Hoping my kid will do better on the harder one since it is more forgiving.
So for the harder test, is it one wrong on a specific question, or as long as one gets one wrong on any of the M2 module on the harder one, it could still be 800?

Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Will the college board tell us the what percentage of students had certain score brackets. Have they told score distributions in past digital sat test?
College Board works in reverse. The percentiles for the entire school year's tests are usually published in September and are backward looking, based on the three previous years of tests. They are not actual percentiles based on one day's scores.
Besides, as mentioned, there are many, many sets of questions - not everyone gets the same set of questions on the same day, in the same school, and typically not even in the same room. So, the information you are really looking for is not make public, no.

On an actual SAT or a practice?
