Why does everyone assume experimental passages are the hard ones?

Why can't they be the easiest questions? I mean, the AAMC has to know which questions are easy, too. They can't base their curve for future tests only with data from hard questions. So, the next time you say, that passage was so hard it "HAD to be experimental"...realize you could just as easily say "the passage was soooo easy, it was probably experimental." Haha

No, I think it would be much easier for them to determine which passages were easy. Almost everybody should get easy passages right so they might throw in maybe one medium-hard question with all easy ones to get an easy passage. I think they have to experiment with harder passages to see just how hard they are and if the percentages would fit their curves in terms of how many people would get how many questions correct. That's just my opinion.
