Help about the SATs curve!!!

<p>I was wondering how the curve is set? People tell me they are set AFTER the tests are graded, but others tell me that they are set BEFORE the Test is even given....Soo whose right and whose wrong.....And can you please provide a link.... Thank you in Advance.</p>

<p>Curve is determined by the level of difficulty of the test BEFORE people take it. I'm 100% sure so go with me on this one.</p>

<p>Yeah it is set before the test is administered. The "experimental" sections i believe are the ways they determine the difficulty of the tests and use that information to set a curve for that section.</p>

<p>Sounds reasonable....I have been looking it up on the internet but still no luck. So if anyone can get me a link, THANK YOU!!! :)</p>
