<p>i was wondering if their tests are harder than the actual sats. cause i took two diagnostic tests there and they were soooo hard, especially the writing section. i figure it cant possibly be the college board level. im just curious thx.</p>
<p>Princeton review makes money by selling SAT courses. I think that there review courses are, at best, overpriced and ineffective.</p>
<p>A lot of publicized & well-known SAT review courses are pretty bad since they cater to the average Joe, and CCers usually are above this level. One of my friends took a Princeton Review course where they gave you tips on how to get 650s (take the first 2/3 and leave the rest blank, etc.). I'm assuming that's not what you want...</p>
<p>The Princeton Review Course = give you 2 books, one w/ strategies (like a normal test prep book) and one w/ 11 tests. Every class, the teacher just reads the material from the prep book and makes you do problems. I don't think the course is worth the $$, unless you're really lazy and absolutely CANNOT study on your own. And yes, their tests are harder. I got like 2010, 2080, and 2210 on their tests and, without additional studying, got 2350 on SAT.</p>
<p>I'm taking PR right now, and it's not so good. first of all, the teacher just recently graduated from OHIO STATE. She teachs useless strategies that are obvious. I wonder what she got on the SAT.
PR is only for average students, not so good for students who are trying to get 2100+
this is my second week in the class.
the pre-test I tood at PR was 2000, compare to about 2070 ish on the Blue book.
Does anyone know if the Blue book avg score is accurate?</p>
<p>Ailove, when you say 'their' tests, are you saying in the book, or their proctored practice tests?</p>
<p>Proctored practice tests, but only by a margin.</p>
