2 Different Versions, Same Day.. How Is It Curved?

based on 8/22 MCAT, each section had one passage that was different...

so this means that there will be 2 curves right?

(that ships/locks passage on PS was a definite killer about 7 questions and it wasnt on the other MCATs!!!)

I believe its a regional thing where they take a few weeks to look at regional scores before finally setting a curve.

I read this somewhere, but who honestly has any clue about how it works...😕

it makes a big deal though because you can't compare a passage that wasnt in another mcat(taken on the same day)

i believe it was passage2 for PS that differed, how can you put a curve on 2 different questions?

Is there even really any kind of curve? I feel like it's an urban legend lol. Nobody even knows how this "curve" works.

it depends on the questions you get.

the curve is based on how other people did on the same questions on previous administrations of the mcat
