I really hope they don’t reuse that math curve from December 2013. I need 700+ and so far I know I omitted 1 and made 2 careless mistakes. I could have made some other careless mistakes as well, this isn’t good.
which out of the four math sections was the experimental section?
@idealni1
I think section 4 was the experimental.
Does anyone remember if the ice cream question was in section 2 or 4 because I think I might have accidentally put 30% instead of 15%??
Pretty sure it was 4.
@hanuman123 how are you sure that section 4 is experimental and not 2?
I took the retake in New York and had a test that was completely different than the one most people are describing. My CR passages were about Pluto, Creole language, a math professor, and an arrogant playwright. After some digging I found that nearly all of my questions were recycled from the June 2015 International Test. I talked to another person that took my test and they had the same one. Did anyone else take this version?
Oh my bad @Anonymous261 I was referring to @concreteolives question about ice cream
@concreteolives
@hanuman123
@Anonymous261
Section 2 was the experimental. I am about 95% sure
How are you so sure? I hope it is but…
@Eagless62 I looked at the December 2013 Thread. The questions we had on section 4 matched the questions they had. They did not have our section 2.
Therefore section 2 is the Experimental Section
Im out in NY too (NYC), I didn’t take that version. I took the recycled December 2013 test.
@CanisMajor Could you link me to where you heard they reuse the curve?

Thanks @Student54926462 but while I understand that the test was recycled from December and that the curve was brutal, my question was more so about whether or not they would use the same curve.
Why is the math curve so brutal? I mean it wasn’t very difficult, but it wasn’t like extremely easy.
any chance its a different curve?
@Anonymous261 the math curves brutality is so high because of the ease of the questions and @aabraham to answer your question theymay use the same curve of we performed similarly as a whole compared to December 2013 students did of we did better it will be harsher( yes that is possible) and of we did worse then it will be more generous
“ease of the questions” it wasn’t like it was so ridiculously easy to warrant such a brutal curve…
@Student54926462 I would be okay with that. But I know on the last administration of this test (October 2014) there were multiple allegations of cheating in Korea and things like that, and I don’t want unreliable scores to hold influence over my curve. It may also have been that a lot of really smart people took the test in Dec 2013, but again, I would like my score to be based on how other people who took it at the same time as me.
