How do you score using the BB?

<p>Unlike PR tests, where the ranges for each sub score are all 40 or less when scaled, BB tests seems to have HUGE ranges.</p>

<p>Are you suppose to take the mean? For example, I scored a 55 on the CR section. a 55 is scored as a 630-710. Do I score that as a 680? It seems very low, especially compared to the way PR scores them. For example, in the writing section of BB, even missing one multiple choice question with a 12 essay gives you a 790. Considering I've seen people with 10 essays and 11 essays who've scored an 800, I'm thinking that maybe the average isn't the way to go. But I have no idea! :(</p>

<p>BB tests are relatively easy...so..I sorta take a bit lower than min.....</p>

<p>I took a PR test a few weeks ago, and scored a 640 on the math section (down from 67(0) on PSAT). On this BB test I took yesterday, I scored a 590 (550-630). I don't think BB tests are easy, which is a good thing for studying, I suppose.</p>

<p>To be honest, BB CR sections are way easier than those of actual test. So, don't rely on that part of the book that much. But you know, it's still the best one.</p>

<p>tsenguun, can u elaborate on why BB CR is generally easier?</p>

<p>^ (10 chars)</p>

<p>I don't agree. They appear to be easier since you're at home, relaxed, and don't have an extra section (experimental). </p>

<p>I usually score by taking the average of the range. And my final score was just about the same as I had been consistently scoring on the BB tests.</p>

<p>^ yeah, I also take the average of the range, but generally (I've heard) that the actual score would be between the average and the high score (ex: 600~690 range --> average = 645. Score = average between 645 and 690)</p>
