How Accurate Are Princeton Review Diagnostic Tests?

<p>I scored:
1840
1890
1950
2030</p>

<p>How accurate are they?
I have heard they inflate them, I have heard they are harder, I have heard only CR is harder and I have heard it depends on the person.</p>

<p>How Do They Compare To The Real Thing?
Are They Helpful At All (just for repetition)?</p>

<p>I got a 1710 on my first SAT and I feel like I got at least a 1900 on the March SAT. Maybe I am just more confident because of the PR tests, or maybe they actually did help.</p>

<p>Can someone please give some feedback? This is really making me nervous.</p>

3

<p>You should give the BB a go, just to see where you’re at.</p>

4

<p>I think that PR is much harder.
I averaged 2100s on their practice tests, I averaged 2300s on CB’s tests.</p>

5

<p>I thought it was a lot easier…</p>

<p>I used to get around 1900s on PR tests and 1750s on BB tests</p>

6

<p>PR has a reputation for being harder, but I can’t really attest to it myself.</p>

7

<p>I have BB but what I would do is go through a section or 2 a day, so I only got to do 1 full test in it and I got a 1900 and I got a 1950 on PR half a week earlier. That is a normal fluctuation though, so maybe PR is accurate.</p>

<p>Anyone else familiar with PR’s practice tests?</p>

<p>I’ve worked through the entire book as light practice… seemed OK at the time :o </p>

<p>Maybe you don’t have a set score that you’re guaranteed to get. Maybe you’re 2100 one day and 1900 the next.</p>

<p>I know the March SAT passed already, but I’m just going to say this for anyone reading this thread /o/</p>

<p>I wouldn’t count the last PR test because PR guarantees money back if you don’t raise you score by 150 points so they make the last test a lot easier. Or so I’ve heard. I’m pretty sure it’s true though haha</p>

<p>If you don’t mind, can you tell me your March SAT score when it comes out? I also took a PR course and I want to see how effective it is for you :3 (I’m taking my SAT again in June though)</p>

<p>I will let you guys know. My second to last was a 1950 btw, and ironically I felt like I did horrible after taking this. I think I did well on the actual thing though. ~2000 + or - 100</p>
