<p>I took it straight 3 and a half hours, and got a 2300 when I would usually get 2050s, 2100s. Granted these were different excel practice tests and I hadn’t taken one in a while, but still, I don’t see myself improving that much in one week.</p>
<p>It wasn’t even that I got lucky; I think there was only one problem where it was a 50/50 on whether it’d be the right answer, but maybe I got lucky from knowing the hard sentence completion question vocab this time.</p>
<p>What tests did you get 2050s/2100s on? Because I first started using Barron’s, and then switched to the blue book tests and my score jumped from ~2200 to ~2350. I found the blue book tests a bit easier than the actual SAT (well the curves were nicer at least).</p>
<p>Are you using the 2nd edition? If so, the first 3 tests are actual released SATs. So your score on them is as ''real" as any practice test is ever going to be and certainly more useful and indicator of progress than any non-college-board test.</p>
<p>Yes 2nd editions, the 2050s were from excel. Granted I was mainly concentrating on one section and I know I screwed up on some math, but still.</p>
<p>The blue book test was the 2300, the CR (main weakness) just seemed a bit easier for some reason, I was finding the answers for once in the text rather than looking for it aimlessly and evnetually guessing.</p>
