Is it just me, or is Form 3 vastly more difficult than 1 or 2?
Anyone know if there is a true increase in difficulty with each form? I ask because I've heard Form 1 is the easiest, and now I'm finding Form 3 to be quite a pain.

I believe the scores are adjusted according to the form, making the difficulty of the form irrelevant.

Difficulty may be irrelevant as far as score, but is an increase in difficulty actually present in this sequence of practice forms or am I slipping?

What I meant was, you can tell whether the difficulty is changing or if it's you by the change, or lack thereof, in your scores. If you score the same, then the test is probably more difficult, but if your score changes, it must be you.

yeah i agree, i dont remember if it was form 3 or 4, but on one of them i was only 2 points total LOWER than on the other, but the bars were SIGNIFICANTLY shifted to the left...meaning i missed a whole lot more on the harder one, but it didnt affect my score that much

so really the scores are standardized so that the harder ones give u a bit more leeway with missing questions
