All three tests test the same skill set.
Blue book generally yield higher scores for most students because they’re taken at leisure.
PSAT is rumored to be easier, but most people score a bit lower (not true for me 23x PSAT vs 2300>n>2250 first time SAT). The curve is also harsher.
The SAT is, well, the SAT. It’s supposed to test the same concepts every time and yield generally uniform scores, which are “assured” through a curve. You can expect to score within 100/150 pts of your BB tests on the SAT.
