<p>I know these tests are from College Board, but they're like ten years old. So how accurate are the curves? Has our generation gotten smarter/dumber/stayed the same?</p>
<p>The reason I ask is because I just took a practice tests in US History and Literature yesterday to see where I stand before I start studying...I received a 740 and 770 respectively. If I got these scores on the actual test in May, I'd be totally psyched.</p>
<p>So I'm trying to figure out exactly how much effort I need to put in my studying. If these practice tests are way easier than the actual tests are now, then obviously I'll have to go through and review a lot. But if they represent the same level of difficulty, I'm pretty happy with my performance.</p>
<p>Then again, maybe I got lucky and happened to do well on just this one particular practice test....</p>
