<p>Hello,
I wanted to share a slight inconvenience I experienced whilst attempting several practice tests on the Blue Book.
I've taken a few math section practice tests over the past few weeks and have been consistently hovering between 680 and 720 on my scores. Today I took Practice Test #7 in the Blue Book, and as I was going I noticed I was struggling. I scored an exiguous 560 and had my confidence pulverized (yes, working on that vocab..). I thought to myself perhaps I lost a lot of my math knowledge since I shifted my focus to critical reading over the past two weeks. However, I forced myself to take another math section (practice test #9), and went back to exactly 700. To those of you who have the book and have been/are trying the practice tests, did you also find test #7 absurdly more arduous than its counterparts? Is there a chance that it is not an actual past test, and that it may not reflect the common format? I absolutely do not want to score 150 points below my potential because the test I attend is an outlier compared to what I've encountered in my preparation. Just to make sure we're talking about the same test, the first question of section 3 asks about how many pounds of flour per rolls of a pastry. Sorry for the long post/rant; I really am just curious to receive feedback from either your experience with the specific test or insight as to whether it is reflective of the actual SAT (as opposed to the tests in which I score 700~).
Thank you guys.</p>
