Am I the only person who think Barrons is ridiculously difficult??

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>I've taken couple SAT IIs and I'm prepping for SATI
I personally think the barrons SAT I is so much harder than other prep books (princeton, bluebook, etc)</p>

<p>Is the actual test closer to the blue book or the barrons'???</p>

<p>I think I've heard it's harder... That way you're sure to get an extremely high score if not a perfect one.</p>

<p>having taken the test twice, I can tell you barron's is about 5x harder than the real thing. most other books, however, are easier - if you prep only with those, you might be stumped by a few questions and get "surprised" on the test. you should try practice tests from ALL the books (a few from each) and take your scores with a grain of salt. your TRUE score will be slightly higher than on barron's books and slightly lower than princeton or kaplan, from what I've seen. </p>

<p>but don't get discouraged by barron's! my friend kept getting 650-700 on every section, but then she got low-mid 700's on everything, so don't fret.</p>

<p>i got a 540 on barrons...800 on the real one
if i was you, just use barrons to study trig. functions, simple functions, and sin cos stuff (graphs, rec. & polar coordinates etc.) good luck!</p>

<p>mehhh said that other prep books are easier than the actual test...
which prep book do u guys think is the closest to the actual test???
the "blue book"?</p>

<p>yah use the blue book.</p>

<p>use barron's for math2</p>

<p>use the blue book, it's definitely best as it's the only book published by college board, which does make a dif.</p>
