<p>i have been doing pretty bad on the practice tests. i have been getting like 50% wrong. any hopes of getting an 800?</p>
<p>This book is insane. My highest score was a 650 but in Princeton I barely tried and got a 720. I think Barrons is super inaccurate for this kind of thing. Many of the questions are wayyy too specific. Im real worried too. -34 isn’t what I’d expect for myself :(</p>
<p>i remember when i took it i got like a 400 on barrons, then took the real thing and got a 790</p>
<p>^ur joking!!</p>
<p>no im not. i also took practice tests in other books and got 750+ on every one of them. i took one from barrons and believe my score was 450</p>
<p>Barron’s is pretty much always harder than actual tests. Don’t stress yourselves out :/</p>
<p>yea thats funny. the barrons questions were like WHAT did this even happen in history. but if you got like 450 on barrons and 790 on real thing then i feel better. thanks</p>
<p>Hey here’s an update guys. </p>
<p>I bought sparknotes and just got a 700. The questions are actually doable LOL. Forget Barrons. Its probably a big waste of time at this point.</p>
<p>Same problem, I did the Barron’s Diagnostic and got ~57% correct… which is a 590! O_O</p>
<p>I am still studying with it though… I will also look at my princeton review book. I’m taking World and US tomorrow… good lord. :(</p>
<p>omg. i just got 50 wrong out of 95 on barrons. and test tomorrow!!! any advice? is getting above a 750 still possible?</p>
<p>are the online sparknotes tests accurate?</p>
<p>i just got a 600 on sparknotes. 
any hope?</p>
<p>“i just got a 600 on sparknotes. any hope?”</p>
<p>I read a while back that someone said sparknotes was a little bit harder… a little bit nit-pickier.</p>
<p>i have been getting like 520s on barrons and i got a 600 on sparknotes. eh i need a 750+</p>
<p>Yea, I got a 590 (!) on Barrons, but I got 750 and 760 on Sparknotes. Hopefully that will translate into around an 800 on the test.</p>
<p>If you are still worried, you could switch the test to some other subject you know, like World History, if that’s your thing.</p>
<p>All I know is Barron’s is really really hard. I’m praying tomorrow is much easier than Barron’s.</p>
<p>sparknotes gives you a smaller curve, and alot of time they make errors grading. For instance, you’ll get the question wrong, but they’ll be like “B is not the right answer, B is the correct answer.” … like what? o.O</p>
<p>but i got a 600 on sparknotes which aint good. and i need 750+. blah</p>
<p>Here’s another update: I took a prac test yesterday from
Sparknotes and one today. </p>
<p>720, 750. Barrons is definitely useless. DO NOT USE IT TONIGHT. Study concepts and take an official or sparknotes test. Princeton review can work as well but do not take a test from
Barrons. It wont help. </p>
<p>Expect at least 40 points higher on the real thing tomorrow. So hopefully I’ll walk away with a. 790 :)</p>
<p>Its at least 40 points for sparknotes ushistory. Ive seen 40-100 points so dont get depressed sostressed</p>
