Early takers say new SAT 'wasn't so bad' and not so tricky

I am a junior and I haven’t taken an SAT yet, but based on my peers evaluation who took the test, said it was a little easier than the psat. Now for all the people that worry about “higher scores will have diminishing value” that is not true at all. The college board knows how to deal with stuff like this. I remember while scoring my practice tests (old and new) the scoring rubric was different for each specific test. So for example if the math section was easy and you got 2 wrong, your score would be a 750, whereas on another test where the math section was difficult and you got 2 wrong you would still score an 800. Based on my understanding, samething would be applied for the march new sat exam, they will heavily penalize for each wrong answer if everyone did well on the test. This format is similar to the Act, where one wrong answer on the math section (59/60questions) is a difference between a 36 and 34! Hope that helped a little :slight_smile:
