<p>This weekend, I took a PR free simulated SAT at one of their test centers. There were a ton of kids, and it felt like a real SAT. </p>
<p>My question is, has anyone else taken one of these? How close is it to the real SAT? Any information would be helpful.</p>
<p>i took one of those.......it was extremely helpful! my practice score was very close to my actual score. it also helps a lot if you've never taken the SAT before. it gives you a feel of the testing conditions. it especially helped me out w/ timing and pacing. when i took the SAT in june, i felt like i was moving slowly, but i would actually end up finishing 5-10 minutes ahead of time on each section. if also helps if you review test answers after your scores come back. the proctor at my site also said that they make the practice test harder, so that the actuall SAT will seem easier. (btw, my Princeton practice score was 2180, my actual june SAT scores was 2200.)</p>
<p>Yea, the course was all right. However, the way they curve the raw scores to scaled scores can be misleading</p>

<p>Actual SAT: 730 Reading (61 raw score), 730 Math (50 raw score), 640 Writing (68 + 7) (43 raw score + 7 essay).</p>
<p>Overall, I'd say it was worth it. The tests are harder than the actual SAT, especially Critical Reading. If you do all the homework and take all the tests, you can take a refresher course before your next SAT testing date, which I will be taking in September.</p>
<p>^ the op was refering to the free stimulated practice test, not the whole course. but your info. still helps to answer his question.</p>
<p>How do you get your scores I took one a week ago</p>
<p>How can I find out where these test are offered? I’d like take one.</p>
<p>@ the Princetonreview website ^</p>
<p>But yeah I would be really happy if you tell
Me how to find the scores online :):):):):):)</p>
