How much room for error on CR?

<p>I've taken every 9 of the 10 tests in the blue book so far, and have noticed a considerable amount of improvement in CR. Gone from a raw score of ~54 to more than 62-63, in some cases.</p>

<p>Yet, only the first practice test has a definitive score chart. e.g. A raw score of x gives you a scaled score of y. All of the other practice tests offer score ranges, which I find immensely frustrating. I'm not sure where to categorize my scores with these ranges.</p>

<p>How great of a raw score is recommended to shoot for an 800? The first test's score chart says that even 3-4 points off the raw score is still an 800... the score ranges in the other tests are nowhere near as definitive.</p>

<p>Most tests it’s 1 wrong=800. If it’s really hard, 2 max. I’ve seen one with three points off, but that’s if you omit, and it’s the only one I’ve seen with three off anyways.</p>

<p>Don’t trust the blue books scoring charts. They get your hopes up for nothing and then crush them the day you get your scores back.</p>
