<p>I recently took a Barron's practice test (knowing that their practice tests are extremely hard). I got 9 wrong on the english and 15 on the math, my two strongets sections.</p>
<p>Is this a normal amount to miss for Barron's? I feel that a lot of english questions could have more than one correct answer and the math, idk what happened. Is their math supposed to be that hard?</p>
<p>Don't blame it on the book. If you made mistakes, it's your fault; you weren't as competent as you thought you were.</p>
<p>Besides, if the practice test is harder than the real thing, it's for the better IMO. Better to be disappointed now than on a Saturday in the near future.</p>
<p>isn't it GOOD if you are getting them wrong on practice tests.</p>
<p>Maybe you will even learn from these mistakes, so that you score better on the real deal.</p>
<p>Barron's tends to be harder than the real SAT. But study both Barron's and the real, published SATs, since in some ways Barron's is easier (no visual spatial)</p>
<p>you mean ACT</p>
<p>Yes i suppose it is better to get them wrong and know your mistakes. I probably gave the impression i was disappointed i got them wrong or whatever, but all i really wanted to confirm was whether barron's was that hard because a lot of people said the book was hard.
that's all lol</p>
<p>The book is hard, yes. I personally am using the Real ACT Guide (only ACT book I possess as of now), and am having trouble only on the reading section. I must try get Barron's and check that out.</p>
<p>Alright, so does it really honestly help that Barron's is hard? a lott of people say that you should do barron's practice tests so when you acutally take the test, its a lot easier than the barron's tests you have practiced from. but does this help or not? Does barron's even test the kinds of questions that appear on the ACT?</p>
