<p>i've heard different comments about it... so what's ur opinion?</p>

<p>i'm thinking about the 11 practice tests by PR</p>

<p>and i already have the Blue Book</p>

2

<p>for some reason i think the 11 practice tests book is actually HARDER than the blue book tests...</p>

3

<p>I've heard PR is really close to the blue book tests...</p>

4

<p>so i should also get the 11 practice tests to supplement</p>

<p>the blue book?</p>

5

<p>I've heard there is also something called Ten Real SATs by the Collegeboard...and there's an online course on Collegeboard with a whole bunch of real SAT tests. Or you could just get the PR.</p>

6

<p>^ yeah, i would. it's just more practice, but don't use it to judge your range of scores on the real SAT. use the blue book for that..</p>

7

<p>Yeah, for me PR's been pretty accurate.</p>

8

<p>PR = 20$ (11 good tests)
Online Course = 60$ (6 GREAT tests)
10 Real SATs = 3-10$ (idk exactly) (GREAT practice..but the format is different)</p>

<p>you decide what you wanna do after BB is done. I'd do PR since it has the format even if it isnt the best practice or the greatest tests.. It's not as expensive as the online. It may be more expensive than 10 real.. but it's more tests and correct format (more time practice)</p>

9

<p>PR is actually harder than the 10 Real SAT's and the QAS</p>

10

<p>^ i had a feeling...
lol</p>

11

<p>^^ really I thought it was significantly easier. I dunno, I also thought Barrons was easier than College Board even though people say its harder. I guess I'm just sucker for falling for College Board's traps..or maybe i'm just an idiot...</p>

12

<p>Everyone has a different say on it. I personally think PR might be a little easier, since my scores are a bit higher compared to the BB tests.</p>

13

<p>should i save bb for last</p>

<p>after im done with the pr books?</p>

<p>so far i've done 2 tests in the bb</p>

<p>and my scores were similar to the pr scores</p>

14

<p>nah. computerized...they are a bit harder, its just that PR grades the tests much easier. (more lenient scale than actual examinations) on the 10 real SAT's and the QAS im missing 5-6 total on the CR and 2-3 on the math, but on PR I'm missing like 8-9 on CR and 4-5 on math,</p>

15

<p>yeah but i missed less on PR than BB</p>

<p>but only by like 2 or 3</p>

<p>but BB math is harder</p>
