<p>That sometimes my positives aren't correct.
hehehehe</p>
<p>how is there not a curve? Look at what sempergumby said. There are different score balance sheets (or whatever they are called), or raw score converters for each admission of the same test.</p>
<p>Does College Board actually reuse a SAT or SAT II??</p>
<p>when people think curve, they usually think of results skewed due to test takers' performances. the actual people taking the exam have no impact on the "curve". it is predetermined and in order to reduce confusion, it's called precentering, not curving. it's really just semantics. and yes, the cb does reuse tests.</p>
<p>What haos said, there is no curve. </p>
<p>A curve is when say someone gets a 790 and that person is bumped to 800, and everyone else gets bumped up accordingly.</p>
<p>They have a predetermined scale, so you could miss say 2 or 3 to get 800.
This is called ** centering **.</p>
<p>there are different scoring rubricks but that rubrick is determined before the test? Do they do internal testing to ascertain its difficulty?</p>
<p>About CB reusing tests:
Do they reuse whole tests or just recycle questions?
Do they reuse the test corresponding to last year or whatever, like using jan03s test for jan 04?
Would I be able to easily find questions from the tests (like on this forum)?</p>
<p>princeton reveiew sucked!!! biggest BS and waste of money and time EVER!!!!! F PR :P</p>
<p>They will recycle a question up to four times max, after that they throw the question in the garbage.</p>
<p>They do not always reuse a whole test and do not always do it by month, so no point in trying to find questions.</p>
<p>ashernm: they do not do internal testing... who would they do it on? i'm sure the ets people who created the problems would have no problem solving them; they may be evil, but they're smart. what they do is on previous tests, there's a section called the experimental (the test-taker does not know which section it is while taking the test) that does not count into the final score. ets takes looks at the experimental section and the number of people who answered each question correctly; the less people who get it right, the harder the question it.</p>
<p>p.s. rubrick is spelled rubric; it's not really a rubric, it's a scale they use to determine your math and verbal. they have a rubric for the new writing section. a rubric tells you the criteria for a certain scores such as: a 6 maybe excellent paragraph structures, flowing sentences, good citation, etc... while a scale contains only numbers that say: if you get 2 wrong, you get a 760 on math or something like that.</p>
