<p>Please forgive me if this has already been discussed- I can't find a recent thread. My daughter has this book and I was planning to return it because we also have the SAT blue book. Just for kicks I asked her to take the math test in PR and she got a perfect score. Tonight I will have her do the reading section. I already know that the PSAT is easier than the SAT, and I know that you should study for the SAT ( blue book) and that will cover you for the PSAT. Here is my question: how much easier is the Princeton Review Cracking the PSAT- 2013 practice test than the real PSAT that she will take in October? Are these two tests similar in any way? Thanks-</p>
<p>I think that PR is a far cry from being accurate. Not only are the CR questions an inaccurate representation of the questions and answer choice types presented by Collegeboard, but the practice tests are also easy (I scored a 235 on the 2nd practice test, even though I was scoring in the 210-220 range at the time). Also, the conversion charts are inaccurate for Writing.</p>

Students actually tend to score lower on the PSAT than SAT, if the PSAT score is multiplied by 10 as a conversion. Silverturtle’s chart shows that the rarity of a certain score, based on statistics released by College Board, indicates that the PSAT is indeed slightly more difficult to score higher on despite it’s having an easier math section.</p>
<p>Does anyone else have opinions on this book?</p>
