<p>Has anybody else taken the Collegeboard's 2011 released practice test?<br>
Did it seem really easy to anybody else? I got a 225 and I've been scoring 195 on Barron's, so I'm concerned that it was just an easy test.</p>
<p>Is it a full practice test?</p>
<p>Do you mind posting a link here</p>
<p>It’s full. We were given the packet at school, so I don’t have a link. Sorry. I assume it’s the same one that all the schools receive to give to students?</p>
<p>The PSAT practice test comes with the study guide that is released each year but isn’t available online in Collegeboard’s website. AFAIK, the practice tests are actually previously administrated tests (Wednesday) from two years before.</p>
<p>Okay, here:
[PSAT/NMSQT:</a> Official Student Guide to the PSAT/NMSQT](<a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools)</p>
<p>“…Also, contact your guidance office for a copy of the Official Student Guide to the PSAT/NMSQT to help you prepare before test day.”</p>
<p>It was part of of the official guide packet.</p>
<p>Thanks, Techhexium. That’s a comfort. I suppose Barron’s just has more difficult practice tests, then?</p>
<p>Barron tests are definitely harder.</p>
<p>For some reason, I keep on getting -2 on the math section. This time, it came from the hour problem, as well as the ratio problem (I flipped it over, arg). </p>
<p>Writing seemed a bit strange to me as well. I kept on thinking that the idioms were used incorrectly, but it turns out they were right. Last time I got -1 on the PSAT I got from my school’s office, this time I got a -4.</p>
<p>The PR conversion table for writing is unbelievably inaccurate. The conversion was something lik 80 80 79 77 etc. The curve for writing for the 2011 PSAT was something like 80 77 75 72 70 and similar for years past.</p>
<p>I’m taking it a week before my PSATs. So I’ll get back to you! (:</p>
