To A Current Student:

Was your Oct. '23 PSAT an Adapted Test? Were Module 2 (Cr. Read + Writing and Math) questions more difficult than Module 1? Did that reflect in your overall Oct. '23 composite PSAT score versus your December '23 composite paper-pencil SAT score ?

The reason I ask is because a current XCP junior prepped last fall mostly for the paper-pencil Dec '23 SAT and the Dec '23 ACT, and last summer for the Oct. '23 Digital PSAT, just like you did.

She scored a 1340 (Cr. 730/Math 610) on the Oct.'23 Digital PSAT, but scored a 1540 (Cr. 770/Math 770) on the Dec. '23 paper-pencil SAT.

Something's wrong with this picture... particularly the Math score discrepancy.

This new Adapted Test concept is creating unnecessary anxiety and confusion.

AND she scored 35 on her Dec. '23 ACT (out of 36!) which equates to a paper-pencil SAT score of 1560-1580!
