Curves!

[Britty3092]

<p>Hey guys, this may sound extremely stupid, but what exactly is a curve?</p>

<p>No one really ever explained to me what it is, so now I'm curious since I just took Subject tests in USH, Lit, and Bio. I'm pretty sure I did really well on these, but I would like to know how curves can affect my scores.
Thanks!</p>

<p>Curves are the number points you are allowed to miss to still get an 800, as opposed to getting 100% and getting an 800. This then affects every lower score.
ex. 79/80 = 790 but after curve it is still an 800.</p>
