<p>I'm sorry about repeating this question because I realize this has been probably asked to death, unfortunately I could not find it through searching.</p>
<p>Is it a general rule that the online course tests are more difficult than the actual SATS? And what about old PSATS, are they equivalent or significantly easier than the actual SATS?</p>
<p>I know they are both made by collegeboard and so are fairly accurate, however I'd just like to know whether to expect a score increase or score decrease in the actual test.</p>
<p>The PSATs are generally accepted to be easier than an actual SAT because of the lack of an essay and some other fun sections. I’m not sure about the online course, I haven’t used it before. However, it came from CollegeBoard, so the difficulty should be at the actual SAT level give or take maybe 50 points.</p>
<p>I have never taken an online course, however I found the PSATs to be SIGNIFICANTLY more difficult than the SAT. I got a 1930 on the PSATs (with no studying), and a 2320 on the SATs (with minimal studying).</p>
