<p>what kinds of raw scores did u get on their practice tests and what did that translate to on the real thing?</p>

2

<p>barron's is terrible.. the real test is much much much easier</p>

3

<p>Barrons IIC I missed like 11 on the first test (I will admit that I didn't take the test too seriously though).</p>

<p>And I'm pretty sure I missed 0 on the actual IIC test (after going through the problems in the discussion thread).</p>

<p>Not sure about the raw scores on the practice test, though.</p>

4

<p>For physics, barrons covered a lot of unneeded stuff, and did not cover a lot of needed stuff. Use princeton review..... for EVERYTHING!</p>

5

<p>I did all 9 of the tests in Barrons' IIC book. Here's what I got (in order):</p>

<p>38
38
35
32
33
37
36
41
39</p>

<p>Averages to 36.6. And after taking the test yesterday, I'm pretty sure I got an 800. Probably raw score of 47 at the lowest, possibly 49-50. But I could be an optimist :D</p>

6

<p>I got an 800 on the Math IIc in May, and I think for the last practice test I took was in the 40-50 range (can't remember the exact number). But if you can finish Barron's tests in an hour and do well, then you should definitely be all set for the real thing.</p>

<p>^ Yes, I agree. That's how it was for me :)</p>

<p>yea.. barrons = much harder than the real</p>
