<p>That curve isn’t the worst, and the January SAT is not the “easiest” test. Study and retake it if you are not satisfied with your score; there is no “luck” involved here. Colleges aren’t going to reject you because you were a few points off, and if you are applying to a college that would, your score just isn’t competitive enough for that particular school.</p>
<p>The curve for the Jan. SAT wasn’t terribly off. The CR was a bit harsher, but instead Writing was a bit more lenient and Math was about the same as always. While the curve may differ from month to month, it’s not by much, and January was no exception.</p>
