attention to all people who did not take the test: SINCE YOU DID NOT TAKE THE TEST, YOU DON’T KNOW FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WHETHER IT WAS EASY OR HARD. basically, you are only relying on the opinions of people on college confidential.

what you don’t take into account is that by nature, the only people who go onto this site are people who care a lot about the SATs/ the admissions process. Thus, these people studied VERY VERY hard (as almost everyone is admitting) and consequently think that they did better than they did on previous tests. therefore, the test was so called “easy” for people because they put a lot of work into preparing for it.

also, even if the people didn;t study hard, the reason many people are retaking in June is that they did terribly in June. Since they did so badly on their previous test, odds are they will do better next time and will thus think it was “easy”. For example, lets say for the April test, someone did much worse than they expected. Then, if they do slightly bad, average, slightly good, or very good on this test, this test will be viewed as “easy” the only way these people will view this test as hard is if they think they did very badly.

This kind of trend happens every June and October! Stop complaining!
