Anyone using Princeton Review?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>I've been using Princeton Review to study for my last SAT in December, and it seems like my scores are dropping each time I take the practice test.
And quite frankly, I'm freaking out here.
I've used the blue book before and it wasn't like this.
I'm aware that most people say the practice tests from PR is a bit harder than the blue book, and since blue book comes from collegeboard, it's the closest to the real test material.
I've been getting low 2000s and now it's dropped to 1800s over the past few days with the PR.
I'm very worried, to say the least, about this negative progress.
It's happened with the blue book too, but it wasn't as bad. </p>

<p>I've heard so many people acclaim PR SAT prep saying it really helped them increase their scores significantly, which was my main reason for buying the PR over blue book. </p>

<p>Anyone have/had a similar experience?</p>

<p>Sadly yes. I don’t know if it is merely illusion or it is the truth. -.- My scores are dropping and I am FREAKING OUT right now. </p>

<p>I have used PR and to be honest, I find some CR questions quite unconvincing. The math and WR sections are fine though. How about trying another book to see if your score is still on the decrease? Like Kaplan or something.</p>

<p>I can vouch for princeton reviews 11 practice sat test and I can say they pretty much take the question straight off from the bluebook for math and change it just a tad bit; however, I find the writing section to be the most indicative, cr could be a little ambigous and confusing at sometimes, but overall it serves as good practice for the Sat although I wouldnt trust the score you got for that. Just rely on collegeboard released practice test or the ones on the bluebook</p>
