Why does Math II make it easy to get an 800?

<p>Okay, maybe "easy" isn't the right word. It's more like "relatively easy." You can get an 800 on the Math II subject test by getting just 43 out of 50 questions correct. I could understand this if only 1 or 2 percent of people got more than 43 questions correct, but the actual number is closer to 10%. Don't colleges want to be able to distinguish between people in that top 10% group? If so, why are they all given the same score?</p>

<p>first of all, the curve is decent b/c its a difficult test,
most people don’t finish the test and leave about 3-5 blank when they take it for real,
it has difficult problem solving and critical thinking involved that deserves a little break when it comes to scoring.</p>

<p>It’s a much more selective test compared to other subject tests, such as U.S. history.</p>
