<p>so are you guys saying the second video information throughout the 3rd minute is incorrect?</p>
<p>My understanding of the process is that if it is a comparatively easy test, you better hope you get an 800 because if you miss a couple, your score will drop substantially (i.e., more than it would have on a harder test.)</p>
<p>@candy: the first part of the video suggests that the performance of others will have an effect on your final scaled score, and also that the final distribution is mapped to a bell curve centered close to 500, but neither of these conclusions is correct. However, if you watch the entire video, sometime around minute 6 he’ll mention that comparisons with former test takers are made to remove the effects of the varying test taking population (true) in order to debunk the common myth of “take the SAT when the other people taking it are weakest.”</p>
