<p>I know this question has been asked many times, I went thru all threads (including the big one on this subject) and general agreement is that all dates are equal. But I am still confused since many people do say that march/april sat is hardest,</p>

<p>It seems very unfair if indeed certain dates are better for test taking i.e. test is easier sometimes and hard at other times.</p>

<p>Any comments from folks who have tried multiple dates? </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>All test dates are equal…</p>

<p>Some tests are harder than others, but they’re all curved so that you’ll end up getting a similar on every test no matter how hard it is.</p>

<p>^Not really. October 2010 SAT had -3 and 730 for Math which is pretty harsh and not similar to other test curves in different months. Usually -3 in other months is at least 750.</p>

<p>That’s true, but I didn’t say the curves were the same. Easier tests have harsher curves than harder tests, which have easier curves.</p>

<p>If anything the March test should be the easiest because no seniors would be doing it since applications are due in january…thus your ability to outperform the rest would be better?</p>

<p>The curves are more or less predetermined using the experimental section data. No specific test date is harder than the other; harder questions=easier curve. The beauty of the SAT is that the scores across different testing dates give a pretty consistent indication of ability.</p>
