<p>I'm really out of practice tests for the new SAT so I was wondering if taking old SAT tests (before march 2005) would be useful in gauging one's ability for CR and Math?</p>
<p>i think the CR is the same...the math is about 95% the same as well...</p>
<p>Yeah, it's a fine idea. Just ignore the quantitive comparisons and analogies.</p>
<p>Okay, so I just took the Saturday 2002 test and scored 760V and 730M. Can I reasonably expect those scores on the June test?</p>
<p>Well, it depends on how you did on the analogies and quantative comparison. If you missed a lot of those, your scores will be better but if not, your scores will be worse. I recommend you take your raw score for only the reading comp (out of I think 40, decimals and all) and multiply it by 48/40 (the total number of questions for the new reading comp over the total for old reading comp) and add that to your sentence completion raw score. Then compare that with some of the new test curves. This will give you the best idea of a new sat critical reading score. For math, take your multiple choice score (out of 35, I think) and multiply it by 39/35 then add the number of grid-ins. See how that turns out.</p>
<p>Drat. I did really well on those :P</p>
<p>Yeah... I wish the old sat still counted. The analogies are just vocab and the quantitive comparisons are just cake. And the curve is easier!!!</p>
<p>And analogies are by far the most 'g-loaded' items on the test...yay for killing the SAT's psychometric usefulness!</p>
