<p>Just how hard are Barron's review books? Particularly for the Biology SAT II, and I guess Math II (though I have yet to purchase that one). I know that their tests are notorious for being harder than those of the College Board, but I was wondering if anyone knew roughly what Barron's score would correspond to a CB one.</p>
<p>Take a real one to find out.

<p>I used Barron’s for Biology and got a 740 on the one practice test I took. I got a 790 on the real thing. Of course, this is just my experience, and I only took one practice test, but the SAT is much easier than the Barron’s practice tests. I also reviewed a lot more after taking that practice test because I was really worried.</p>
<p>Take your Barron’s score, multiply by 100, divide by 5, divide by 2, divide by root10, divide by root10 again. Add 7, subtract 3pi, then add (3pi - 7). Square it and then take the cube root of this. Take the whole expression to the 3/2 power.</p>
<p>Just kidding… but there’s no way to tell. Sometimes they’re easier, sometimes accurate and sometimes harder. It depends on the subject. I don’t think Barron’s Math was hard at all.</p>

<p>Most people disagree with this.</p>
<p>^^ Haha well I did this stuff in 8th grade so maybe I’m biased… I got an 800 on both the practice tests.</p>
