SAT score!

Test Preparation

<p>Hi Guys!
I'm an international student and English is not my native language.
I have just taken a practice test ( Number one in the blue book) and I score around 2080.
HOWEVER, I score around 1940 when I took 3 practice tests in Barron's!
Can someone explain to me how this happened ?
Thank you so much.</p>

<p>It’s generally acknowledged that Barron’s tests tend to be harder than the actual.</p>

<p>And does your score on the real test stay the same as the one you got on the practice test from the blue book?</p>

Not usually. I scored 2300s on the BlueBook, ended up with a 2200. So close yet so far maybe… But keep a +/- 100 point range. If you’re consistent with a particular score, then make it a 50.

I have found that my scores were consistent for the BB and the actual test. The first three BB tests are real SAT Tests. The rest are made for the BB and were never administered so they only have score ranges. If your skill level doesn’t change to the real test, then the scores you get on the first 3 tests are pretty much what you will get. The last 7 have a bit of uncertainty because they are ranges.
