Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>Which did you do better on? The practice tests from the blue book (even though they dont give actual score but a range) or on the real SAT.</p>

2

<p>The real thing. In fact, on the blue book test I took before the real thing, my math score was abysmal at, like, 640. I got a 710 on the real thing.</p>

3

<p>I did better on the real thing than on any practice tests (I took dozens and kept getting the same score) or PSATs. I got ~2270 on just about all my practice tests, and on my PSAT as well.</p>

4

<p>I've always recieved a higher grade ont he actually then on practice tests and PSATs.</p>

5

<p>did so much better on the practice tests. (but i took practice tests after i took the "real" test which im retaking.)</p>

6

<p>I did better on the real thing.....was all excited and had the adrenaline going</p>

7

<p>I was scoring like 2000-2100 on practice tests, then got a 2340. I just concentrated more</p>

8

<p>I took practice tests online on collegeboard.com and did several hundred points better on the real thing.</p>

9

<p>I got about the same...</p>

10

<p>About the same.</p>

<p>Overall, I got higher scores on the practice tests. My math was almost always 800, my CR was about 630, and my writing was between 620 and 650. On the actual test I got a 740 on the math which gave me a shock. However, I got a 680 on the CR (thanks to me deciding to try the cover up answers and try to answer question by itself strategy FOR THE FIRST TIME... very lucky) I also thought my essay would be a 5 (average on practice tests), but I got a 4...</p>

<p>Conclusion:
Average on Practice: 2100-2180
Actual: 2020</p>
