a question about the curve for different tests

Hi everyone,

Is there a curve difference for the June's test, October's test, December's test or Feb's Test? Do they change difficulty levels? Is there any advantage or disadvantage to take the Feb's one and apply next circle?

Thanks for the help!

The "curve" is different.

Thank you so much! I used to hear a lot of rumors that Feb test is way harder than any other tests, but now I begin to know more about the grading process of the test. The item response theory looks interesting. I finally decide to take the Feb test next year and apply next year.

I also found two useful links to explain this from the PS website.
