are practice tests seriously harder than the real SAT?

<p>Hi, I've heard people say that the practice tests they have taken are actually harder than the actual SAT. Is there any truth to that, or is that bullshiz? btw, if brand or w/e matters, then the practice tests that they and I are taking are from Kaplan.</p>
