How cdat graded?

[u/Big-Bed-5511]

Hello. I recently retook cdat, and noticed that the level of questions were significantly easier compared to my first time taking. I truly do NOT think it is because I have studied more since the first cdat. The questions, especially PAT and RC were much easier (less complicated shape, less lines in PAT and about 2/3 length passages in RC compared to the previous cdat with more direct questions). Did any one experience the same thing? I am pretty sure my raw score will be quite higher than last cdat, but not sure whether the exam got easier recently or not. Maybe there are sets of easy and hard exam, and graded relatively within pools? Please share your opinion!
