Recent Score Decreases?

What are we thinking is the cause of many people posting about their drops which fall outside of normal variance? Reporting bias? Exam actually getting harder? Perhaps we need more people posting about their unsurprising scores?

You can indeed zoom in and out on the test

Tested in NYC - you can zoom in and out on the exam, fitting the entirety of a CARS passage in a single window. Further, the font is the same (if not very similar) to the font reddit uses by default.

This is indeed a standard feature for all testers.

Hope this helps my fellow neurotic folks for whom this matters. There was a lack of consensus and no official post stating this, so here it is.

Can we zoom out on the actual exam?

The zoom function is a standard feature seen on the tutorial screen - but discussion around this seems to lack a clear consensus contemporarily (2025 and beyond).

Does the interface during the actual exam allow an examinee to zoom out from the DEFAULT text size, allowing one to make the text smaller than default?

I have seen my CARS score trend upwards when I am able to see the entirety of (or most of) the passage within a single text window, without needing to scroll.

Thank you for answering if you know
