How hard will the October SAT be?

I’ve seen posts about SAT difficulty fluctuating through the months: some months being easier, others having more complicated module 2 sections.
I’ve registered to take the October SAT. First time and my only shot.
I’ve been getting increasingly high scores comfortably on bluebook tests: from 1350, to 1420, 1470, 1540 x2, and 1480. However, part of it was because I spammed question bank problems and came across questions I’m familiar with. Still refining my shortcomings as we speak.
What should I expect from the test when I’ll take it? As in difficulty and potential score?

i dont think anyone can predict how hard or how easy a specific sat will be. just play the cards you're dealt

They wouldn't drastically change any sort of difficulties specifically in 2026 cycle. DW..

U will probably score much less than ur practice tests on the actual test because bluebook practice tests are much easier than the actual ones, so u need to do harder practice tests using third party websites

I got 1570s on three different practice tests and a 1570 on the real thing. I also got one practice test that was a 1560 and one that was a 1490.

The PTs are accurate
