<p>Hey, everyone.</p>

<p>I know that the tests in the 'Blue Book' are the closest approximation to what one can expect when he or she sits for the SAT.</p>

<p>The tests that are in the Blue Book are those which were administered during the 2005-2007 time period.</p>

<p>For all those who have given the SAT (recently), could you please tell me whether the tests that have come in 2011 and/or 2012 were exactly similar to those administered in the past, or there any significant differences between them (for e.g difficulty etc)</p>

2

<p>They are similar.</p>

<p>The first three tests in the Blue Book are previously-released SATs; the last seven were created specifically for the Blue Book when the format changed in 2005. Still, they were created by the same test makers and are valid tests. </p>

<p>They should all produce a reliable practice test score, as long as you time yourself, take the test in a single session, and count for test anxiety or other test center issues.</p>
