<p>But you can’t curve perfect. If there were more perfect scores than usual that skews the results. Since the curve was so harsh that a -1 = 76, that leads me to believe there were plenty of those too. What were they supposed to do? Make -1 = 72 just so lower scores would be the cut off point?</p>
<p>I know they like a perfect bell curve, but I think they simply had more high scores than they could curve down to make the numbers “normal.” It totally matches what I heard about the test from multiple sources. Many kids do multiple practice tests and to a person, they all told me this test was easier than any of their practice tests. Every year kids do multiple practice tests. That hasn’t changed.</p>
