<p>I don’t mean to be rude, but there are already many, many posts about this same topic. Look around a bit and find one of them instead of asking again.</p>

<p>Just reading the SAT information booklet should answer this question, but here is the long answer: </p>

<p>It’s just a rumor, and you shouldn’t worry about it if October is your most convenient month for taking the test.</p>

<p>Maybe its true… generally seniors take the test since its their last chance … so the test scores are higher… I heard that during March or Feb … the curve is better but idunno.</p>

<p>ugh, its not true. if your score is lower in october, its because of you, not the curve.</p>

@College Board

Are some SAT tests more difficult than other ones?</p>

<p>All editions of the SAT are developed using the same test specifications. Even if there are tiny differences in difficulty from test to test, a statistical process called “equating” ensures that a score for a test taken on one date or at one place is equivalent to a score for a test taken on another date or in another place. The rumors that the SAT in one month, say in October, is easier, are false.
