My opinion on how the "curve" works

I was self-doubting after the test and had to distract myself. I've read somewhere that not only the "curve" is pre-calculated based on previous experimental sections, test-takers are actually compared with others in their score band, because a question that is "very difficult (5/5)" for sub-160 test-takers might be an "average(3/5)" for 170 test-takers.

I'm making an inference on this. Under extreme circumstance, if one section is SOO difficult that only genius (1%) of the population can perform well. Then would it result in a curve that looks like this?

170: -10
160: -40

Sorry this has nothing to do with actual test, just food for thought out of curiosity.

Also, flowers for all who sit for September test. 🌸🌼
And some kittens/doggies. 🐱🐕
