<p>Wow Barrons is really making me nervous. I know it is really hard but like if I take the hour time limit I end up with like a 680 w/o finishing the whole thing but if I can get through the whole test I can score like 750.</p>
<p>I dont want to buy another book just for next Saturday so can anyone show me real subject test problems or calm my anxiety about Barrons.</p>
<p>Calm down. If you read many posts from this thread you will see barrons overprepares. It teaches calculus. you don't need that. I had absolutely no prep and got a 750... which imo is not good because i was waaaaaaaay too lazy. Just calm down. Its harder than the real thing.</p>
<p>the thing though that even though that the real thing is easier, the time is still the same.</p>
<p>I ran out of time</p>
<p>like 8+ blank, if I remember correctly.</p>
<p>yep, i was intimidated by Barron SAT 2c books, man, it's freaking hard.</p>
<p>I took a fair amount of tests in Barron's SAT 2c. I consistently would get a 39 or 40 raw score. I would never finish the last 6 or 7 questions. I took two old real SAT math 2 tests and got a 49 and 50 on them. So I hope that relieves you a little.</p>
<p>barron's waaaaay over preps. i just did a few study tests out of sparknotes and pulled an 800. i don't think i asnwered like 3 or 4 q's. just be sure to be accurate on the ones u do know the answer to.</p>
<p>I'd advise you to keep practicing with Barron's if you have time and don't let it get you down. I studied with it, and eventually was able to finish Barron's test and score decent on it. Don't worry about the really tough problems/subjects though. </p>
<p>On the real test I finished with time to spare and got an 800, and I owe it to Barron's.</p>
<p>So like barron's raw score + 10 = the real raw score</p>
<p>So if I got a raw score of 35 on Barrons, it is similar to a 45 on the real thing (800)?</p>
<p>If so, that's awesome (for me)!</p>
<p>There is no freaking formula for this chris. The test is not the same thing every time. Normally barrons is harder but it is difficult to estimate how good you will do because barron's types of questions (the ones you are missing) may not even appear on the real thing which would mean a 35 would be a 49. however if you are missing the ones that would relaly appear then you wouldnt do so good.</p>
<p>I see waht you're saying, but what is the general consensus about Barron's raw score. What did you guys get on teh Barrons Raw Score and on teh Real thing raw score?</p>
<p>the general consensus is that it is harder... most people agree with this. Few don't.</p>
<p>Can you define "harder"? How much harder?</p>
<p>If you are getting 680 on Barron's then you should easily pull a 750+ on the real thing.</p>
<p>Cool. What do you think about retaking a 660 on Math 2C for top engineering and business programs (minus MIT, Stanford, CalTech, HYP)? Good idea? I hope so.</p>
<p>It is a must.</p>
