Different Scoring on SAT II Spanish Exam

<p>I have an official SAT subject test book from 2006 and the scoring rubric seems a lot harsher and the practice exam harder than the exams I’ve taken in the current Kaplan/PR books. As well, it says that the average for the spanish exam back then was a 556 and now according to this, <a href=“http://media.collegeboard.com/digitalServices/pdf/research/SAT-Subject-Tests-Percentile-Ranks-2013.pdf[/url]”>http://media.collegeboard.com/digitalServices/pdf/research/SAT-Subject-Tests-Percentile-Ranks-2013.pdf&lt;/a&gt;, the average is around a 690 or so. </p>

<p>I’m curious if the exam simply got easier and the curve got better or students are simply better at taking the exam. </p>

<p>As well, does anyone know which study books are more representative of the exam / where I can find more “real” past exams used by the college board.</p>
