<p>Are the tests easier or harder than the sat tests?</p>

<p>im nearly done with the 11 practice tests for PR and I have to say that the tests are slightly harder. ALTHOUGH, I have found some older CB SAT tests and am noticing that PR reuses the old CR passages and even questions. In fact, if you look at the first Princeton Review test in the 11 practice tests for 2012 and look in the 8th section you’ll read a seemingly familiar passage of a guy observing two girls text messaging and pondering about tech. This passage and the question PR uses is completely derived from an CB SAT test. Also if you do the CB tests first and then do PR, you’ll notice that PR may also copy the writing MC questions just phrased a little differently. So other than the official blue book i would be inclined to say that these are your next best bet to gauge your score and improvement simply because PR uses CB questions and rephrases/edits the. For me personally, I found the PR passages that I haven’t seen before to be a bit trickier than CB’s but that is my opinion. Overall, because of the uncanny similarity to previous CB questions, PR is probably accurate. Of course, nothing truly trumps the value and accuracy of the official CB book.</p>
<p>So like on average how many more questions would one get right on the actual test per section compared to pr?</p>
<p>dude no one’s done an experiment to pinpoint exactly X amount of questions. most people say it’s slightly harder; imo it’s WAY harder (i.e. 100+ pt difference) so it differs for different ppl I guess. I say just add, say, 50 pts. Just go for the general idea; be happy with a 1800-2000 rather than a 1910, since either way there’s a lot of room for improvement. Once you’re past, say 2200, there’s no excuse to use anything than bluebook unless you run out of tests.</p>
<p>Whether it’s harder or easier is irrelevant. It’s different. When taking practice tests you should only use tests created by the college board.</p>
