Are Barrons practice tests helpful in improving scores which are already in 700 range?

I have heard that Barron’s tests are harder than collegeboard tests, and offer superior score improvement, is this true?

Personal experience: generally very true. The only experience I had where it actually lowered my score was SAT Chemistry. Besides that though, they do a good job of lifting your score regardless of where you are

For which subject? It matters.

This is for SAT passage based reading
