are the practice test in the barrons 24th ed book harder than those in the blue book?

<p>i was reading in other threads about how barrons give you a deflated grade... is this true?</p>

<p>Math - much harder
Critical Reading - easier
Writing - about the same</p>

<p>Writing is the same</p>

<p>is the essay grade counted to the writing grade?</p>

<p>no,it is counted to the math sections :)</p>
