So I took Kaplan 4 yesterday, which according to word on the street is a beast, and I scored four points higher than my previous high score. I got many more wrong, but the curve helped in my favor. As a result, I've decided that I would almost rather have a harder test that is curved better than an easy test that is curved hard.

So basically my question is would you rather have an easy test with a very harsh curve or a very hard test with a much more lenient curve?
 
I make careless mistakes (that just as likely to happen on easy questions as hard questions), so I would rather have a hard test. This way, I can still make a few stupid errors (like reading the word hypertonic as hypotonic, or mismatching a DNA base-pair by accident, etc) and still have a good chance at a good score on that section.
