I understand generally: Hard test = better curve and it is based on each test. Before CBT, there were only two tests a year and on average each test pool would have more than 20,000 test takers. Because of this large number, the previous curve probably ignored pool itself...
Now comes to CBT, I heard some dates only have couple of hundred test takers, even worse if they have several foms on the same day. My concern is: if I falls in one of such very few test taker days, and hit with a very smart test takers pool, shall I be still curved against them?
Some ones claim that MCAT August test takers are generally stronger than in April, becuase smart and confident sophomores uaually take test in Augest before junior, and many school statistics show their scores are higher than rest of pools.
Any your thoughts, thanks!
