<p>Is the curve for October more or less harsh compared to other months? I would think less harsh because it’s the first date of the “season” and seniors are the majority of test-takers in October. Any thoughts/statistics?</p>
<p>No correlation.</p>
<p>I agree with Mikethechimp. You have to understand that SAT use this method called equating that utilizes the performance from previous SATs and compare this with the performance of the students who recently took the test. Therefore, a student, who took the SAT in Jan. of 2010, with a 2230 would be of equal, or nearly equal, caliber of a student who scored a 2230 on, let’s say, Oct. 2010 SAT.</p>
