<p>In the CR section in the actual PSAT (ordered from Collegeboard The wednesday October one) I got only 4 mistakes </p>
<p>In the Princeton review CR, I got 11 mistakes!!</p>
<p>WTH is happening? I see so much difference between PR passages and the actual one's passages. Whats going on? I thought PR is supposed to be good and everything...</p>
<p>PR probably makes it easier, so you are thrilled when you get less. Ie, you say "it will cost $50,000" knowing it will probably be around $10,000. When it's $25,000, they're like "OMG! You saved me 25,000!" not "You cost me 15000 more! ARGH!"</p>
<p>PR's CR is different from SAT/PSAT.
I have noticed that too. I seem to miss less on CB's questions than PR's. It's just that Pr focuses on different ideas of the passage than BB does.</p>
<p>Well a lot of PR teachers tell me that their test is made to be harder than the real SATs so maybe that had something to do with it... i haven't noticed this yet as i do poorly on both RC but PR does seem to use harder words</p>
<p>Yeah, I’ve noticed the difference as well.</p>
<p>A lot of PR’s CR questions deal with inferences derived from and implications of the story. And they also tend to focus on minute details to disprove similar answer choices… and in a state of distress, one can’t help but gloss over those!</p>
<p>Here’s my little chart thing from PR:</p>

</a></p>
<p>As you can see, the Math’s harder, the Reading’s harder, and the Writing is a lot easier.</p>
<p>i noticed that the math section was harder in the PR 11 book. i usually get like 1 wrong…i got 5 in the first math section…a bit surprised. the questions at the end are not really reasoning anymore…they are more like “trick” questions.</p>
