<p>So i'm using barron's, and on the practice tests, my raw score has been hovering around 30 (out of 50...). Shameful, I know. I know that barron's is notoriously difficult, but does my crappy score condemn me to a crappy score on the real test?!</p>
<p>I'm taking IIC in a week, helpppp!</p>
<p>thats not crappy. with a raw score of 30 you'll have something like a 670. just practice, thats the best way. do a test or two every day for the next week.</p>
<p>I did some last minute (almost literally) practice out of a few books, and found the test to be much (much, much) easier than the practice tests. I was actually helping someone study for the SAT Reasoning math portion and her problems actually seemed more difficult than the ones on IIC. I don't think you should stress too much, you're probably more prepared than you think.</p>
<p>barron's is the worst predictor ever</p>
<p>i know 2 people (including me, 3) that never got over 700 for barron's test and got 800 on the real thing</p>
<p>use the CB tests or PR</p>
<p>Barrons overprepares you to no end. You'll do excellent on the real thing if you're getting 30-35 on Barrons practice tests.</p>
