Diagnostic Tests at C2 and others

Hi All! I took diagnostic tests at both C2 and IES test prep about a month and a half apart. I was trying to decide between the two. I know that every test prep center has a different difficulty level but there is a 100 point difference in my Math scores! My C2 Math test score was higher by 100 points. Which scores do I really believe? Also, how much can one trust these diagnostic test scores? Can you predict your actual SAT scores through these tests?

Theres official sat practice tests on the collegeboard website. These will probably be most accurate.

Thank you! Will try those!

Try not to be so self-conscious or read too much into how you’ve done on diagnostic and practice tests. The most important thing when it comes to any standardized test is understanding the line of thinking that leads you deduce what the correct answer choices are. Work through every question meticulously and with an active interest in what you’re doing. If you allow yourself to think about diagnostic and practice test scores, you put an unnecessary amount of pressure on yourself to live up to the numbers that you know you’re capable of based on prepping instead of just going into the SAT with a clear mind, but a fiery determination.
