Princeton Review CR

<p>Is it anything like the SAT because I looked at their writing and math and they looked pretty much like the SAT...</p>

<p>bump.........</p>

<p>Yes, I think it is pretty much on the mark.</p>

<p>In my mind, the 11 Practice Tests for the New SAT is good for writing and math but the CR section isnt anything like the real CR.</p>

<p>Oh no! That's what I need all the help with... I just read somebody's review on Amazon saying that the book made them go from a 67 PSAT CR score to an 800 on the SAT! And I got a 68 on the PSAT, so I was really starting to hope... :(</p>

<p>The writing is very accurate. The math on the real SAT doesn't have as many formulaic questions as do the PR tests. I think the the Critical Reading is blatantly different. At least my scores indicate this: I got a 590 on their Diagnostic but in the practice tests from the blue book I averaged 740 on most all the tests. THe questions are more ambiguous in the PR.</p>

<p>I think the sentence completions are harder in pr (vocabs seem more difficult), and for longreading, the questions are a bit ambiguous. However, the shortreading is just plain.. easy.Much easier than bluebook. Or maybe I'm just good at the short reading passages.</p>

<p>I am taking PR's SAT course for the May test. My diagnostic scores were 720 M, 400 CR, and 570 W, 51 MC, 12 E. How are you suppose to raise the CR score with PR's course? I've been looking up lots of vocab words that I don't know from their workbook. I have also been doing all of their homework. I plan to do 30 min review everday. I have 10 more weeks for the real test. Will my CR score go up to 550 by then?</p>
