I’m currently entering my Junior year. I know this a rather awkward topic to post but here I go.

As a junior in HS I did SAT prep I was consistently scoring in the low 1800’s on my practice tests, mostly low 600’s in every section. I took Princeton review and used official College board practice tests. On my SAT day I bombed the test with about a 1700. I took it again my senior year. Around that time I did less SAT prep and on my practice tests I was scoring in the low 1900’s. I was basically in the high to mid 600’s in every section. It got to a point where I was be able to crack SAT questions better than my Princeton review instructor at times. On test day I was unbelievably nervous and I got an 1800.

Then again I did serious prep. I identified my weaknesses and worked hard. I began to score between 690-720 in math and writing and the 640-650 in reading. On my very last SAT practice test, which was also an OFFICIAL BB test I got a 2030. 690 in math 640 in reading and 700 in writing. So I took the test a third time and got an 1840. Math 610 reading 590 and wr 640 but I wasnt nervous.Im guessing my subconscious was sabotaging me. So in sum, I basically did pretty good on my practice tests, which were mostly offical BB tests but my real SAT scores differed drastically. I’m a bright guy. I dont understand why this happened. Can anyone relate?

I feel like my real score lied between the 1900’s and early 2000’s.

I know it’s rather late but it’s just something that’s been bugging me for a while…
