<p>I have practice tests from Barron's, Sparknotes online, Rusen Meylani, and REAL SAT IIs. I heard the Barron's tests are a lot harder than the actual test. I took one Sparknotes test and got an 800. How does each practice test compare to the real thing?</p>
<p>(Since the one test in REAL SAT IIs is obviously the most accurate, I'm saving that one for last.)</p>
<p>I used sparknotes when I studied for the IIC... I found it match the actual test pretty well... except it was a tad bit easier. And yes Barrons is a lot harder than real IIC.</p>
<p>use the real one first so you can get a feel for what the test is actually like.</p>
<p>I got 800s on all 5 sparknotes tests and ended up with an 800 on the real thing. Sparknotes was good. Meylani & Barron's might give you harsher scores but they are really good practice. I saved the real one for last too ;)</p>
