I don’t have enough data (i.e., past November SAT curves) to compare November tests with other months, but even so, the CB has every reason not to make a particular month harder than another month, on average. Even though the curve compensates for difficulty, there are plenty of people that would avoid a hard test and pile into another month, which is not helpful to the CB.

BTW, other months in which I do have plenty of curve data (Jan, Mar, May, Oct) do not show any pattern of easy or hard.

So: don’t worry about it!
