Our test has a standard deviation of about 50 points - so you are most likely to score within 50 points of your test scores. The official test has a standard deviation of about 30 points - same deal there (if you could take it again the next day without additional prep, you'd be most likely to score within 30 points of your prior score).

And forgot to add - good luck tomorrow! I'm guessing you probably won't see this till after you take the test but hopefully the positive vibes will help. :)

I'm interested in knowing your score as my practice test scores on Manhattan CATs have been around the same score as yours.

Just so I know what to expect.

The experience is different for everyone - if nothing else, nerves affect different people differently. Plus, everybody takes a different test! So it's tough to make any sort of prediction based on someone else's performance.
