<p>where can i find the most accurate sat pratice tests???? i have tryed CB's blue book, barrons , PR and a couple others but i have found that some of the tests are harder than others aka barrons. Would u say CB's blue book is the best considering it was made by the test makers?</p>
<p>Buy up old PSATs and take those. The PSAT is, in fact, the only "official" practice test by the CB for the SAT.</p>
<p>Test formulated by test makers are <em>absolutely</em> the best, no question.</p>
<p>Here's what you do :) :</p>
<p>1) Blue Book.
2) All the old QAS packets that you can beg, borrow, or steal from your friends. :)
3) The College Board online course (about $70 or so for 6 tests not available in the Blue Book, or anywhere else).
4) All the PSATs (as alpha 2400 recommended; excellent advice IMO). At least 6 are available to order from the CB, and they're not <em>that</em> much easier than the SAT.
3) The old 10 Real SATs, 3rd edition (out-of-print but available online) for the M and CR sections; the old SAT II Writing (again, out-of-print but available online, in the old College Board SAT II Subject tests guide) for the Writing section.
4) The old 10 Real SATs, 1st edition (4 add'l tests not included in the 3rd edition), again for the CR and M, again a real set of administered exams.
5) The old 8 Real SATs: a few more real exams not available anywhere else.</p>
<p>3, 4, and 5 are out-of-print; you'll have to find them used on sites like half.com or abebooks.com, but that shouldn't be hard.</p>
<p>If you get completely through all of this material, Princeton Review is the best IMO; but I think you should work through all of the College Board stuff you can find before you hit PR. </p>
<p>Moreover, PR is significantly harder than CB, so don't be discouraged if your score seems to drop.</p>
<p>Well, of course, the blue book is the most accurate, so definitely do those. I dunno about tests are old as the ones loft is mentioning...I hear they've changed the test a lot, so really old ones aren't going to be that relevant. I would do the PR ones before getting ones that old, but I also don't think you need a TON of tests. You can only do so many before you burn out!</p>
<p>Hey turtlechex! </p>
<p>The old tests a) don't have the writing, b) have some slight differences on the math, and c) have short passages instead of analogies.</p>
<p>On the CR, at least, they're nearly identical otherwise.</p>
<p>The College Board has often recycled Old SAT passages on New SATs.</p>
<p>That's right--they have used the <em>identical</em> passages.</p>
<p>So I think that the College Board, at least, intends the passage-based questions to be similar, and the sentence completions have typically been very similar as well. </p>
<p>I don't teach the math, so I don't know about it; but I will say that the old CB tests are muuuuuuuuuuch more similar to the new CB tests than the PR tests are; at least, that's my opinion/experience.</p>
