Is it true that the Collegeboard makes the October SAT harder?

<p>I am going to be a senior in high school next month and I am thinking about taking the SAT again (my current score is 2110). </p>

<p>However, I heard from my friend, who is now in college, that the SATs in October are hard because Collegeboard knows that it is a last-ditch effort by seniors.</p>

<p>Is this true? By harder does he mean that the level of difficulty for the questions are raised or that the scale is harder?</p>

<p>I also have heard that the March SAT is harder than other ones because it is for the National Merit Scholarship. (Not that I plan to take the March SAT, seeing as I will be a senior..lol).</p>

<p>Just do the best u can.
Usually the curve is only off by 10-20 points.</p>

<p>curves are decided long before the test, so no, its not harder, think about it, its a standardized test</p>

4

<p>It's not harder , should be about the same, but we have more people getting 2400s on October than any other test date. Probably just a coincedent</p>

<p>I don't think it's a coincidence.
More people study during the summer for the SAT than during the school year, hence there are more perfect scores on the October tests than on all other tests.</p>

<p>Also, I would think that the curves would be more generous in October.</p>

<p>if it was harder,you would get 2400 even you had had 5 wrong anwers!</p>
