<p>In general, are the barron's tests harder than the practice tests on the other books?</p>
<p>In general, yes, although some books come closer to the test than others. For U.S. History I found the book to be very close to the test while for Biology it was too hard.</p>
<p>I have a theory on prep books, I think that their practice tests are harder than the real thing so that when you actually take the real thing you ace it, and then you can say, wow! that book really got me prepared since they had already started you on a higher level, though nonetheless I hear that Barron's practice tests are specifically much tougher.</p>
<p>Much of the time, yes. This is particularly true with Math IIC.</p>
<p>For barron's math IIC, how many correct out of 50 would be equivalent to getting a 800 on the real test? I took the diagnostic test today and got a 41. Should I spend a lot of time studying or is this already good enough for an 800. The only reason I ask is because I'm taking physics too, and I'm going to have to study a lot for physics.</p>
<p>u have a 780 according to that conversion scale</p>
<p>i found that the reasoning test (SAT I)'s verbal section takes a different "approach" from the real test. I can't seem to plug in answers like I can with the real test on Barron's. (but only some)</p>
<p>but are you guys only talking about SAT IIs or ap tests too</p>
