<p>I've heard that Princeton Review's practice tests (for SAT I and SAT II) are easier than the real thing. Is it drastically easier or not? </p>
<p>Which books would you recommend?</p>
<p>Drastically easier?
No. it's comparable to the real thing and the closest NON-CB material you will find.</p>
<p>Personally, I like the CollegeBoard books. Straight from the source.</p>
<p>Well PRINCETON REVIEW books are easier than the real thing. I would better practice BARRONS for SAT 1 AND SAT II</p>
<p>I really like to practice CR with the Princeton Review books though. Sometimes the passages are quite a bit harder than what you would find on the real SAT, which is good practice.</p>
<p>Barrons is SO HARD!</p>
<p>princeton review- about the same, maybe slightly easier...didn't improve my score much...maybe like 40 points
collegeboard-the same, obviously....didn't really use it for sat I's....i liked it for the II's though
barrons-extremely difficult. i studied with this for the last two tests though, and it increased my score like 200+ points. u will feel like crap after u take their tess but then like a genius on the real one</p>
<p>You should aim for accuracy instead of difficulty. Blue book all the way.</p>
<p>PSAT's, man. Buy 'em up from the CB.</p>
<p>honestly, in my experience the best preparation for the test is just to take the real thing once as practice.
do it early (late sophomore year, early junior year).
also, for both the ACT and the SAT you can purchase a copy of the test you took plus you're answers for each question, and whether they're right or wrong.</p>
