<p>I took all the math sections and verbal sections seperatly a few days apart. </p>
<p>So I went Section 2-4-6 (math), following all the time constraints and rules, and scored it 680. A few days later I did 1-3-5 (verbal) and scored it 730.</p>
<p>How accurate have the 10 Reals been for you? w/o the pressure have you scored much higher? do you think my spacing between math and verbal affected the scores?</p>
<p>compared to other prep books, I'd say that the scores u get from 10 Real's are pretty accurate. of course, it's not going 2 be exactly the same as your real score. (I also don't your spacing between math and verbal affected the score very much...)</p>
<p>However, if you have problem getting focused at home, the pressure on the real test will help you get focused.</p>
<p>Here are my results after taking four tests from 10 Reals:
Average practice verbal: 613
Average practice math: 768</p>
<p>Actual scores were 640V and 710M. The verbal was close but my math was almost 30 points from upper extreme of the score range.</p>
<p>I am not sure how helpful this is. I think I went through the math sections too quickly. My verbal score was close to the practice scores because I could not go through the verbal section any quicker than I was going during practice.</p>
<p>i dont think they are very accurate. I was getting high 1400's when i took the practices my junior year. My first test I ended up getting a 1350. I practiced some more and got the same scores and got a 1320 my senior year. I took it one more time in december without practicing at all and i got a 1470. pretty strange huh.</p>
<p>I always got higher on the real SAT than on the ones in the REAL SAT BOOK, so in my opinion, they are harder than the real thing</p>
<p>expect higher for sure!
i got like 1150s and highest on 10reals was 1260
real
1400 (800M 600V composite score though)</p>
<p>Wow so most people here improve?</p>
<p>Never got higher than 750 on a section with 10 Reals, but got a 1560 on the real thing. I don't know, I think I just zoned out too much with the practice book.</p>
<p>I didn't improve...I went from 1500+ to high 1300's...sad</p>
<p>You'd be surprised how much your concentration/focus matters on these tests. In math focus/concentration is everything for me. I took a practice sat test and got a 1390 (660 m, 730 v). The next day I took another practice sat test but this time i got a 1530 (780 m, 750 v).</p>
<p>The difference? On the first practice test I made a lot of stupid mistakes, but on the second one i didn't make stupid mistakes because i did a better of job of pacing/focusing/catching traps in questions.</p>
<p>You'd be amazed how much of a difference those three things can make.</p>

<p>what book did you use</p>
<p>Sparknotes test prep pack. They have a bunch of practice for a bunch of different standardized tests online.</p>
<p>I'm gonna get 10 reals sometime in the next few days.</p>
<p>I think the sat's i took in the book were higher than my real test, but not by that much. No matter how accurate it is, i consider it to have helped me and recommend everyone buy (borrow would be better) it</p>
<p>I think the SATs in the 10 Real SATs book are a good reflection of the real test...in the end it's a matter of concentration and CONFIDENCE that boosts your score on test day. That's what ends of making the book's tests seem slightly harder than the real test, but it's really all a matter of perspective in my opinion.</p>
<p>I think Real SAT scores are pretty accurate.
I scored 6 1600's in 10
The lowest score i got was 1550
I scored 1570 in the actual test.
I repeat...Real SAT scores are pretty accurate</p>
<p>I'd say that the tests themselves are extremely precise, because they ARE the actual thing. The only problem is that you cannot simulate test conditions well enough (eg, Saturday morning after a six pack of Red Bull).</p>
<p>i took a practice test the day before the actual exam and got a 1570...but then on the actual test i got a 1490 so i dont know how accurate practice test scores are</p>
<p>Does anyone improve just by doing the 10 Reals, or should you study the math concepts/whatever they say about verbal in between the tests?</p>
<p>Well here's how it is in my opinion- the earlier years of tests, at the start of the book, are fairly easy, while the later ones, from more recent years, are much tougher. early ones i was getting like 1600, 1590, later ones i was getting around 1500 on practices. got 1510 on actual.</p>
