Kaplan 12 practice tests CR?

<p>I don't know who else had this kind of problem. I received my Kaplan 12 practice tests book 2 days ago. I made the first practice test.
Math: Very Easy 690 :(
CR: absolutely irrelevant! 480 :(
WR: very confusing! 600 :(
I just don't get those explanations for passage-based reading. They are full nonsense! I don't say all are nonsense--about 50/50.
I am very upset with my scores right now, especially with Reading ones.</p>

<p>Had anyone had this problem? What do you think about Kaplan's tests?</p>

<p>P.S I finished all McGraw-Hill tests 12/12(+PSAT) And I tell you what, they were much more relevant and realistic than those in Kaplan.</p>

<p>I have time until May. My final aim is
Math 700+ (it's real even now without careless errors)
WR 700+ (somewhere real but needs practice + essay 11-12)
CR 600+ (now it's not real and thus, I am reading+practicing)
Total: 2000+</p>

<p>I would be glad to use the BB's practice tests. However, I have done them before so many times that I can remember all correct answers. I have Princeton Review 11 practice tests but I plan to use them in mid-March.</p>

<p>ok, I did the Kaplan practice test, it was ok, i think it was a bit easy compared to the real test, i don’t think we should refer to these practice books too much for model tests, it would be a great “practice” but not “test”, i think real tests are imporant …OCs, OGs…etc.
The reading topics for Kaplan resembles the major themes that ETS refers to… cut it in sections and improve our skills through it, then take advantage of the real test by ETS…
hope might help… by the way scores fluctuate all the time, don’t worry too much about it…
I’m sure you will do fine~</p>

<p>Uhh I forgot about this. I droped Kaplan and now I am working with PRs 11 tests. They are great! So far I have almost mastered the Math and WR (high-700’s); however, my CR is practically the same as it was in Kaplan, specifically a 500. I guess I need more practice because if given about 30 min for every section I could score mid-500’s. It’s ok for me. I have a friend with such amplitudes (740; 720; 520). Anyway, thanks for your answer. It looks like you are interested in Kaplan tests too, otherwise, you wouldn’t search this topic :)</p>
