Hi, I have been practicing full tests on here several times, and I realized that the tests are graded on a curve. Is this curve accurate? Is the curve based off of the actual curve of that test ? (since most of them I am guessing are old real tests). Is my score really reliable? I realized my recent score was higher than the actual score due to the curve that bumped it up.
Hello Anika,
Thank you for your question - we have been reviewing our support community archive and I will be glad to answer it for future reference for our userbase.
The practice tests on the platform are based on real SAT tests and the scores are reliable. Also, it is worth noting that every Practice Test is unique, so a raw score on one Practice Test (e.g., Practice Test #1) doesn’t necessarily translate to the same overall score across other Practice Tests (e.g., Practice Test #10).
To calculate your final score, you must use the conversion chart that belongs to the Practice Test you're grading. You can get the results on each and every section in a Practice Test using the scoring sheets available in this article— these scoring sheets were provided by the College Board.
