My practice score range and my actual score

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>I’m taking Oct. test (it’s only a week away!..)
and I just took model test of Bluebook.</p>

<p>And here is my score range(I set my essay score as 10)</p>

<p>CR: 610-690
Math: 720-800
Writing: 660-800</p>

<p>How do you think my score is going to be?(under my normal condition on the test day)</p>

<p>And do you get usually similar score when you actually take the test?</p>

<p>It’s my first time taking the test and I’m really worried about it.</p>

<p>And how many breaks do we get? after which section?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

2

<p>Break is usually after every 1hr 15 mins (3 sections);</p>

<p>scores are usually comparable to the Bluebook…</p>

3

<p>We don’t get any break right after essay?
I always get exhausted after I’m done w/ writing an essay.
So I really hoped there would be a short break right after.</p>

4

<p>I doubt there will be a break after the essay.</p>

<p>As for blue book scores v. actual scores, I’m just worried that my actual score is going to be at the bottom end of my blue book score range. That would suck.</p>

<p>i did like 5 of those practice tests and my actual score was in the upper range of the projections so i wouldnt worry</p>

6

<p>those blue book scores fit a bell curve. it is gonna be right in the middle plus or minus 10 pts, 68% of the time. rarely do the scaled scores deviate farther than that. </p>

<p>ie. my raw score in may cr was 56. that was 630-710. i got a 670. right in middle.</p>

<p>thanks guys! that really helped b/c this oct. one is my first test and I really wanted to know what to expect or stuff like that! Thanks!</p>

<p>I think you could convert your raw score to scaled score using the preparation Booklet, then it will be clear.</p>
