<p>@hell-spider: by old exams, do you mean pre-March 2005? The maximum math raw score was higher (60 instead of 54) so you can’t just compare -2 on both curves. In fact you would expect -2 in general to be a better scaled score on the old test compared to the new.</p>
<p>I put the QAS math curves in [this</a> thread](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/623441-sat-math-section-qs-scaled-scores-december-08-a.html]this”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/623441-sat-math-section-qs-scaled-scores-december-08-a.html) for reference … it is true that the US math curves in Oct and Nov (especially) were harsh.</p>
