<p>To those who have studied for the SATs using Barron's and Gruber's; was the actual SAT easier or harder than the practice tests both prep books gave?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Bump please...</p>
<p>Barrons is so much harder.</p>
<p>I haven't seen Barron's yet (I just ordered it off Amazon, though!), although I understand that Barron's 2400 is much harder than the actual SAT. I suppose you can say that it's for the students who really want to excel...</p>
<p>Even the regular barrons is harder. Let me show you my example for hte PSAT. Before the PSAT i took a couple of Barrons PSAT and usually got around 195-200. Then i went into the test and came back with a 223. Thats a 23 point difference or on the SAT scale 230 pt. Now for most the difference will prolly not be that much, but nevertheless barrons is harder.</p>
