Hey there, does anyone know what a good Bluebook practice test score looks like? I'm trying to gauge how well I'm doing and what score I should be aiming for. Any advice would be really appreciated!
The suitability of your Bluebook practice test score really depends on the types of colleges you're aiming for. Every university or college has different average SAT score ranges for admitted students, but here's some general guidance.
For selective colleges, a good score would be considered around 1400 or higher. Elite universities often have a 25th-75th percentile SAT score range between 1400 to 1600.
A decent score for more moderately competitive institutions falls in the range of 1100-1400. For colleges with open admissions, any score above 1000 would be considered above average.
Keep in mind that the Bluebook just gives you an estimate of your SAT score, and the real test may play out differently. However, practicing with the Bluebook gives you familiarity and aid to handle the time pressure and the types of questions you'll see on the actual test.
Whatever your result is, take that as a baseline and aim to improve it, particularly in areas where you are weak. Remember, the goal is progress, not perfection.
