<p>I have a bunch of questions.
It'd be a huge help if you can answer all or even one of them :P
so like i said, is it true that October tests have a harsher curve than June or May??
and I've read some threads and some people said June 2008 2c was similar to barrons' practice tests. was it that difficult? one of my friends (she's not a math person) did really well and i thought it might have been pretty easy.</p>

<p>annndd..last of all, i've taken a diagnostic test and two practice tests so far from barrons and got 700, 690 and 680 (not in order). do you think i can score 770+ on the real thing? i know a lot people did get 750+ with those scores but im just really worried. (barrons..killing me.)</p>

<p>I don't have enough math 2 curves to know; however it certainly isn't true for the regular SAT. The CB has no incentive at all to make a particular month consistently easier or harder than average. In the end, it really doesn't matter: the curve will be more generous if the test is harder than normal, or harsher if the test is easier than normal.</p>

<p>I think you have a good shot at 770+; you can probably add 50-75 pts to your barron's score to get a realistic guess...</p>

<p>IFF the curve is 'harsher', it will only mean that its an 'easier' version of the test.</p>
