I've heard that the math section is now adaptive - like if you get the easy questions right, it will start making the questions harder and harder until you start messing up. I believe they are trying to elimanate so many people getting perfect math scores but man, I would have HATED that when I was in school.

I honestly feel bad for kids these days and am so glad my last one started college in Fall 22. Every year, college admissions gets more competitive and then the following year kids who saw the previous class get rejected left and right apply to even more places in the hope of preventing that....which makes things even more competitive and results in more rejections which scares the next class into applying to even MORE places. LL#1 applied to 5 schools in 2019. LL#2 applied to 9 in 2022. And now I hear it is pretty average for kids to apply to 15-20 schools. Crazytown. But I understand why -- this year I know a kid who had a perfect 4.0 (unweighted), was captain of a sports team, and had solid but not life-changing-amazing extracurriculars who got rejected from Penn State Main campus and sent to a branch campus for 2 years. That's just wrong (in my day, branch campus students were mostly stoners whose only qualifications for college were "Breathing" and "can pay tuition"). College admissions is insane.
