<p>Princeton Review just sent me a postcard saying they're offering a free ACT, SAT, or PSAT soon. The event's called Test Fest. I'm not sure if I should take the offer, since I've actually heard Princeton Review tests are pretty inaccurate, especially the PSAT, which I am studying for. I'd probably take the ACT for free, but I don't know if it'd be a good idea as it could potentially distort my expectations for the ACT. I am a rising junior if that matters :P...</p>
<p>Yeah, I wouldn’t really suggest doing it, Maybe to practice sections that are not from the Collegeboard, but definitely not entire tests.</p>
<p>They may be offering a free administering of a “real”, non-PR test. They do this to try to increase awareness and try to get kids that take the test to sign up for classes. Its a good opportunity if its a real test.</p>
<p>@CHD2013 I’m not sure if it’s a real test. Should I contact them?</p>
<p>Yes, definitely. Its not worth your time if its not a real test, but its an excellent opportunity if it is.</p>
<p>I just contacted them. These tests are NOT real tests. </p>
<p>Just think of the advertising opportunities. Make the test much harder than the actual CB tests, then bring in revenue from students traumatized by their lower-than-expected results.</p>

<p>I think that also may be the case with many of the review books made by these companies as well. PR math material seemed unusually hard to me compared to other books, especially the “introductory” questions. Needless to say I dished out on the Math & Science practice book from them as well. But, my math score went from a 28 to a 34 so I guess it was worth it.</p>
