Oh no. Practice test devastation...

Test Preparation
1

<p>I'm a junior taking the SAT next Saturday and my self-doubt is steadily increasing due to the scores I received on recent practice tests. I used the Gruber book and took two full-length practice tests. On both of them I ended up with low to mid-600 scores in all areas. </p>

<p>I got a 212 on the PSAT. Is this the score I should be looking at in order to somewhat accurately predict my fate next week, or should I look at the practice test scores as a reality check and ramp up the last minute preparation? I'm now extremely afraid of what my score will be because I'm generally a pretty solid test taker and I was hoping to earn at least mid-700's on the practices. (As well as on the real test.)</p>

<p>Any thoughts at all would be very much appreciated! I'm definitely panicking...</p>

<p>Gruber's is inaccurate. Why don't you try this test? </p>

<p>Don't worry about it. I think you'll be fine. Some practice tests aren't as good as others.</p>
