<p>Given that the scoring guide for the noted tests only provide a score range for corresponding raw scores, how accurate are the tests? I also ask because I felt that the type of questions asked in the first test of the group (test 4) were a lot different than those of the first three released tests in terms of overall difficulty and the way topics were tested.</p>
<p>I’d say they are overall harder than the first 3 tests. The passages are somewhat more difficult in most cases, especially in the last few tests. The level of vocabulary is the same, those questions are fine.</p>
<p>Even though they are made by College Board, they just don’t seem to be on the same level of difficulty as most administered tests. Take the 2010-2011 pretest and the first 3 tests in the blue book and compare them to tests 4-10 you will notice a difference. They are still quite accurate though; much more than PR, Barrons, Kaplan, etc.</p>
<p>I found test 10 to be the hardest of all the tests in the BB.</p>
<p>I agree with you guys. Whew. I just took test 4 about a week and a half ago, and I was thinking, ‘‘Is it just me, or is this SAT test one of the hardest SAT tests I have ever taken?’’. The worst part of that test for me was the last reading passage. I only got like three of those questions correct.</p>
