<p>Hey everyone, I'm a junior and I'm going to be taking the SAT in May, and I was wondering how close the practice tests in the Blue Book come to the real SAT.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Those are as close as you're going to get, considering they're published by the same company that gives the actual SAT.</p>
<p>A little harder, especially in the math section.</p>
<p>Hmm, I guess I got REALLY unlucky (or most likely, distracted) on the March SAT, then. I usually scored 800 M in the Blue Book, but ended up making a couple mistakes on the real thing. Overall, my actual SAT score was lower than all my practice tests from the blue book :-( Anyone else have a similar experience?</p>
<p>I scored at the low end of my blue-book range both times when I took the actual test. This could just be random, however.</p>
<p>The CR score was pretty accurate give or take 20 max....The math score was lower than my actual SAT was by a good 50...and the Writing section was A LOT higher than the actual SAT- i think the writing score ranges are way too high in the blue book. Overall, I scored better on the SAT especially since when youre at the test site your much more serious and know that you cant check your answers and fix them later.</p>
