Can I compare raw scores between Bluebook tests?

By Updated 1 September 2026

No. Each form carries its own raw-to-scaled conversion table because each form differs slightly in difficulty. A raw 40 on one test and a raw 40 on another are not the same scaled score, which means a jump between two tests can be entirely a property of the forms.

This is why apparent progress between two practice tests can be an artefact. If you want a comparison that means something, track scaled scores across forms, or track accuracy within a single domain, and ignore raw totals entirely.
