Why the score range?
Every time I take a practice test, I get my score as a range instead of a real SAT score. I want to see how I will do on the real SAT and that means a specific score. Why do I only get a score range without taking the actual test?

its probably because the Sat is curved, so your score depends on the score of everyone else taking it with you. So like, if the test you take is a really hard SAT then people will do worse but there scores will raise. So since you don't take these kind of tests with other people, they have no way to compare it

I never really thought about it, but you're right! Why cant they just give us a regular score? I mean, we're taking something equivalent to the SAT?
