How accurate is the BB practice tests?

Hi masterdebate,
Based on your scores I’d say that the inaccuracy lies mainly in the Math and Critical Reading sections. For practice tests, make sure you are strictly following the time limits. If you are doing a 20-minute section, allow yourself 20 minutes, no more.
Especially for mathematics, taking the test under time pressure in the real SAT is a totally different story than allowing yourself plenty of time doing a practice test at home with a cup of tea.
Sorry that I don’t have the BB practice tests myself. However, I would highly recommend the College Board online course. My scores for practice tests in OC was (twice) in the ±50 points of my real SAT score. In short, time limit is the key to produce an accurate result. If you have already been doing that, I’m sure you will do better in your next SAT.
All the best!
