Is the College Board Blue book arrcurate? Or am I just dreaming?

<p>So somehow I got a really high score from the blue book(2040 to be exact- my personal "high score" cuz I usually score really low). But whenever I take the PR or McGraw Hill's I always get a range of 1500-1700.</p>

<p>So who should I trust? O.o</p>

<p>and sorry I spelled accurate wrong...</p>

<p>The BB is accurate. Especially the first three tests as they were previously administered.</p>

<p>As for the increase in score, I’ve heard that Princeton Review and McGrawhill are slightly easier. I recommend taking another practice test to make sure it wasn’t a fluke and check that you calculated correctly. If the second test is similar and you calculated correctly, then awesome blossom! Good job :)</p>

<p>THANKS! (:</p>

<p>The minute after I saw my score I was like OHMYGOSHWHATTHECRAP? And I double checked it about 80000000 times. </p>

<p>:'D Goal #1: Accomplished!</p>

<p>I’ve heard the contrary, @dreamchaser2013, most people find the BB test easier than 3rd party prep books (PR, McGraw Hill, Barrons, Kaplan).</p>

<p>@Parallelism - thats probably cause the third party books try to imitate the real SAT and dont quite get it right while the BB is by college board who actually makes the tests so the third party books compared to the real thing/BB tests might seem slightly harder</p>

<p>I kinda going to side with braniac on this because I always get (super low score when I started prepping) like a 1500 on the BB but when I use PR I get like a 1400 (sometime even a 1200). But after prepping I increased… BUT NEVER LIKE 300 points. </p>

<p>(sorry I exaggerated a bit. I usually get around 1800s, BUT STILL it’s like 200 POINTS)</p>

<p>Also to settle this dispute. I’ll take another practice test from PR tomorrow. If it’s higher than BB well proof right there</p>

<p>Okay. So it’s accurate. Today I took another practice test and got a 1910. Close enough</p>

<p>Princeton Review is not accurate (experience)
BB is the most accurate since its official collegeboard material, only use BB for practice tests.</p>

<p>Hey, should I use PR just to improve my CR and Writing? LIke just for Practice cause I need to improve</p>

<p>Nooo^ I suggest the mcgrawhill -idk for me… It raises like 100 points for CR</p>

<p>What do you guys reccomend for math? My tutor reccomended McGraw hill but what do u guys think?</p>

<p>Lol I suggest a good math teacher. Who is willing to teach ^^</p>
