<p>I keep reading about the curve the SAT is graded on. Can someone explain that to me? I did not think these tests were graded on a curve!</p>
<p>You get a raw score for each section (R, W, M), and your raw score is converted to the scaled 200-800 score.</p>
<p>The curve is established in advance, long before the actual test is administered, and has nothing to do with the scores of the people who took it on that particular day.</p>
