How do I interpret these two score?

<p>So, I took a practice test yesterday and scored a 1990. After very minimal prep, I took another one today and got a 2240. I realize this is a HUGE difference, and I'm a bit confused as to what my true score actually is. Can anyone give some insight on what may be the cause of this enormous gap between scores? </p>

<p>Btw, both tests were official practice tests. One was the practice test found on the collegeboard website and the other was a practice test from the official sat online course.</p>

<p>It’s a very small sample size but it should be the range in which you will score, with an upside bias for all additional study and practice.</p>

<p>If these were your first 2 practices, you should not be surprised at all. You just get familiar with the test format and timing after the first one. On the other hand, there is always a 100 points or so fluctuation from practice to practice. You would need to do more practice tests until you reach a more or less consistent level or plateau.</p>
