    Would you please enlighten me on how the scores are curved? If for example, a sim tab is given and a majority of students did not do well (either they don’t understand the wording or it is difficult to do it within the time constraints), then what happens? Does the minority high graders who did do well get low scores to fit within the normal bell curve? Or are these sim tabs not considered in evaluating the score?

    I have read the article in JOA describing the scoring process but I need to know more about curve grading. This is more bothersome because of all the changes this year in the sims section. Assuming the examiners haven’t tested all the new sims, what would you do if you find that majority students did not do well on them?

    If anybody else has knowledge about this, please feel free to reply.

    You're not being a pain. You're right that it's interesting to learn the process while we wait. Plus I need something to do when my insomnia kicks in. I refuse to generate bad Karma by pulling out my books and studying just in case I failed.
