<p>Does anyone know how accurate they are??
Also, approximately how much do we need to do to get a 5? a 4?</p>
<p>Thanks :)</p>
<p>My euro teacher that when he administers practice tests and people score in the 50s they're most likely to get 5s. I thought PRs test #1 was harrrrd though... I scored in like the 40s and I got into the mid 50s when taking the real practice 2004 test</p>
<p>Wait are u saying 50/80 will give you a good chance of a 5? Sweet cuz I got 71 on the 1999 practice test!</p>
<p>^ good quest or in the 50s like 50%??</p>
<p>i just took the first PR test and missed a bunch!!! Well, I missed 16 so that means when I subtract another 4 points for the guessing penalty I get 60/80, or a 75%... Do you think I could get a 4 (or maybe a 5!!??!!) with that?</p>
<p>I don't think Princeton's Euro tests are very accurate at all. I got like 40/80 on their tests, while I got 65/80 on released past AP exams. And I got a 5 on the actual exam last year, so yeah. Don't worry too much if you're bombing Princeton's tests; some of their questions are just so ridiculously obscure and they're not very representative of the actual test.</p>
<p>Tonight, I'm just reviewing for tomorrow...should I look over PR or Cliffs?</p>
<p>I personally like PR's summary. I think they tell you main stuff and what you need to know.</p>
<p>Hmm yeah I was getting really scared too because I took the first PR test tonight and scored really low :( while I scored much higher on the real MC test from 2004 I took today. Well hopefully the PR questions are harder than the real thing.
GOOD LUCK TOMORROW!</p>
<p>I'm glad I took the break from studying to come on here to discover that others were performing badly on PR's practice test#1. I read through the entire history review and some things I don't even REMOTELY remember being menitoned.</p>
<p>I thought the PR questions were absolutely ridicious. It was not representative at all of the actual test - they cover a lot of stuff that is not covered on the actual AP exam. I also found their review annoying - I thought it qould be a good, quick way to review everything but most of the stuff on there was useless when it came to the real test.</p>
<p>same here.</p>
<p>Good luck around here test for us is in 4 hours</p>
<p>ebonytear- I'm so glad you also hated PRs review. I thought it got to be ridiculous at points. I timed myself - to get through 10 pages it took me 40 minutes. That's NOT a quick review. I wish I would've gotten a spark chart or whatever those things are that just list the important info without the wordiness. I'll probably buy some of those for govt and macro, if they have them...</p>
<p>PR's practice tests were pretty radically different from the actual test this year. :/</p>
<p>They did have that same picture of Hitler stabbing Stalin in the back...</p>
<p>EVERY test has that cartoon, lol</p>
<p>Yeah! They did have the Hitler stabbing Stalin in the back picture.. but I saw it AFTER I took the test! grr and I got it wrong.. stupid me =(</p>
<p>You know what's weird is that I've seen that cartoon of Hitler stabbing Stalin several times (PR book, Euro class, etc.) and I never really got it but when it came to be test time, I noticed for the first time that Hitler had a knife and was stabbing Stalin. I had always thought they were just hugging, lmao. So yeah I figured it out just in time, lmao.</p>
<p>I'm so unobservant sometimes, lol.</p>
<p>I was REALLY surprised they used that image -- I've seen it thousands of times. What about the one with the woman, though? Or the apartment?</p>
