<p>does the cr in october tend to be hard( i know everything is fair at the end) but just wondering out of personal opinion.</p>
<p>i hope collegeboard will make it easier (due to the sharp decrease in scores) in order to make themselves look better… anyone know if i have a shot of being right?</p>
<p>It only dropped 3 points. Do you think college board is going to make it considerably easier over a 3 point drop?</p>
<p>Also, even if they did adjust the difficulty, you would barley notice it, if at all.</p>
<p>“It only dropped 3 points. Do you think college board is going to make it considerably easier over a 3 point drop?”</p>
<p>then why has it gotten such negative publicity if it was “only 3 points”</p>
<p>Lol A 3 point drop is HUGE: the biggest drop ever since 1975. But nonetheless, I don’t think CB is going to make it easier or harder. The drop is mainly accredited to the length and the reduced number of people retaking, not really because the contents have become much harder.</p>
<p>Why is CR so difficult for most people?</p>
<p>^ writing’s more difficult for me…</p>
<p>Sahil: Why don’t you do the math, alright? 3 points out of 800 is equal to .375% change. Big fricken deal. It hasn’t been made a huge deal, I haven’t seen it on any major news stations. 3 points isn’t enough to get all up in arms about. Use your brain.</p>
<p>CBS evening news had a story on it, as did the wall street journal… as the above poster said–“the biggest drop ever since 1975”</p>
<p>i agree CR is hard as long as you don’t know ur vocab. Writing is way harder. the essay – horrible :(</p>
<p>The drop is quite large when dealing with such a large sample, and you can’t deal with a straight percentage as jason did… However this drop was to be expected with a different test and the circumstance, the test in october will not be easier.</p>
