Are practice tests trying to scare you?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I took practice SAT tests for three months (RocketReview, Grammatix, PR, and Blue Book) (I am so sick and tired of doing this. I CAN'T wait until after SAT, so I can move on with my life). My scores increased a lot, but still lower than my goals. So, I am still worried that I might not do as well as I want to do on SAT. Is there anyone there that has lower scores on practice tests than the actual test?</p>

<p>Wait, you did what I planned to do. How much did your score go up? I plan to do 2 tests per week starting now until my March SAT. I'll probably get through about 40 tests (11 PR, 12 KAP, 10 REAL, 8 CB). I will probably go over every answer choice everyday, looking up vocabularies too. Will this work if I want to raise my 1560 to a 2100+?</p>

<p>This happened to me last year with AP US History and AP Biology. I answered practice questions from REA USH, and I got a lot of them wrong. I then took 2 online practice tests for Bio, and I got a low score, maybe 2 or 3 (can't remember). So, at those nights, I thought I was screwed. Then, I took the tests. They were damn hard- I seriously thought I failed them, like the practice tests said. But, I got 4s on both of them. It can happen.</p>

<p>i never got anything above 650 on verbal on pratcice tests. but i got a 700 on the real thing alst year.</p>

5

<p>My score went up approximately 400 points from the first to last practice test I took. </p>

<p>Okay, so it's possible to score higher on real SAT than on practice tests. Now I have some hope!</p>

<p>How often did you do the tests? 1 per week? 2 per week? How long did you spend per day?</p>

<p>I need some hope!</p>

7

<p>Every Sunday for three months- 6 hours each time. I answered each section at a time and understood why I got wrong/right answers. It took a while.</p>

8

<p>I got 700 on Sparknotes Chemistry, but got much lower on the actual thing.</p>

9

<p>Sparknote got lots of errors</p>

<p>Damn man, I got sparknotes too is it that much easier than the real thing? What about Kaplan, how good is kaplan for accuracy? Is it harder/easier? I'm taking the test in 2 days so I need to know !!!!! AAAHHHH!!!! I'm panicking!!!!!</p>
