How does Sparknotes Math 2 Compare to the real test?

<p>Hey everyone! I'm taking the math 2 subject test tomorrow and I've been taking a couple of the sparknotes tests to prep. I'm scoring mid-700s on the tests... do you think they are reliable? I was scoring in the mid 600 range in the barrons book-- quite a difference! </p>

<p>Can anyone offer me some opinions here? Thank you!</p>

<p>Barrons is notorious for being MUCH MORE DIFFICULT than the actual test!! I used Barrons and my highest practice test from Barrons was 550. However, on the Sparknotes practice tests for Math II, I scored 740 on each one of them.</p>

<p>Made a 750 on the actual test in November. Hope that helps!</p>

<p>Thanks! That does help! I feel much better now… but I don’t want to feel overconfident.</p>

<p>It must have felt awesome to score a 750 after scoring in the 500 range on practice tests. Congrats!</p>

<p>Just confirming what sports<em>guy</em>5 said. My Sparknotes test scores were within 20 points of my real test. Barrons scores were about 150 points off.</p>

<p>Oh, wow. It’s such a massive discrepancy!</p>

<p>I got 780 barrons using 1 hr 20 mins</p>

<p>I got 780 and 790 for sparknotes using 61 min each</p>

<p>790 on real test</p>

<p>retaking for 800, don’t tell me that it’s stupid, I know it is :)</p>

<p>I got 690 on sparknotes and 770 on real test. The real thing was easier.</p>

<p>You know I scored around the mid 750’s on 2 of Sparknotes math tests. On the actual Math lvl 2 i scored 800… :)</p>

<p>Cool! When I took the test on Saturday, I actually felt like it was very comparable to the sparknotes tests.</p>
