@Joshwither016 you’ll be lucky to score above a 600…
renedgade23 is right. Barron’s is definitely harder than the real test but it isn’t THAT much harder. You should start studying. It seems like that you have some content gaps judging from your Barron’s score.
I took the SAT math level 2 on May 7 2016. I found it to be more like Barron’s than any other book. Maybe a bit easier though. If you’re getting more than 700 on Barron’s, I think you’re on your way to getting 800 on the real test. But I also found that I didn’t use the graphing option on my calculator for more than 2 questions.
Eh…takin it this June scored 640 on my first barrons practice test.
Damn I took a CB Math II test and got an 800 on it…smh, maybe Barrons are really that tough. 640 to 800 lol
Completely rushed through the diagnostic and got 630. Anyone know how that translates on the SAT?
Edit: Haven’t really done much studying past early trigonometry concepts
AAAAAARGH this Barron’s test is making me mad… I did one more test before I started to study later concepts, then two after, and went from 630 and 650 to 780 and 770… 800 doesn’t seem out of reach right about now, it’s just the stupid mistakes and being generally bad with synthetic division. Anyone know how to improve that?
hi i have a question about some of barron’s problems. so a lot of the questions seem confusing and i take time to try and solve them, but when i go and see the answer explanation, the book just tells me to plug it into a graphing calculator will the actual test have a lot of graphing calculator questions? i expected more questions that require solving by thinking or working out problems. it’s frustrating because i usually don’t use my calculator until the last resort, yet the barron’s problems seem to be solvable only through a calculator, and i have trouble realizing which problems need a calculator and which don’t. thanks!
@doodledork Ya, I thought of the same thing as well. I think the actual test doesn’t require much calculator work though.
