<p>I took a practice test in the official collegeboard sat prep book, i didnt look anything up or anything, i had a graphing calc, and i went straight from one section to the next</p>
<p>I did just the math section, untimed (I took exactly an hour to do all 3 sections) and I got a 760</p>
<p>But when I took the actual SAT in April, I got a 570 on the math section :O </p>
<p>I'm taking the test again in June (this saturday) </p>
<p>If you really did all 3 in one hour, then your score should be about the same because you are allowed a total of 70 minutes for all three math sections.</p>
<p>could be nerves too, you know when taking a practice that it doesnt count, but it hits you even subconciously when taking the actual test that it is important and will affect you</p>
<p>Maybe because you're constantly switching to reading and writing, so it takes a while to get back in the "math mind", where doing them all at once you don't have to readjust?</p>
