comparison of Barrons practice tests to actual APUSH Test?

I just took an 80 question mult. choice test in 55 min from barrons. I scored 62/80 which is fantastic. I would only need straight fives to obtain a five. But i am kind of worried. I have heard bad things about the structure of barrons. But does anyone know how the tests in the back of the book compare to the actual test? are they easier or harder than the real deal?</p>

I did read direct hits cover to cover in three days. I think i can attribute that to my success. great review book, but no questions.</p>

Barron’s tests are completely unrealistic. Why don’t you take the Free Released 1996 APUSH exam and see how you do.</p>

^Here is a link to the released 1996 APUSH exam. It will be a much better test of your knowledge than the Barron’s “tests.”</p>
