<p>Is the PSAT practice book that you get when you register easier than the actual test?</p>
<p>In my opinion it was, but I have no idea officially.</p>
<p>It was easier than the real PSAT thats for sure. This year's practice booklet will be really useless, I believe, in predicting scores on the PSAT.</p>
<p>I thought the practice booklet was harder. :S</p>
<p>The 2007 PSAT practice test was the Wednesday 2005 real PSAT. I am looking at both of them now.</p>
<p>Wow.</p>
<p>That PSAT was RIDICULOUSLY easy.</p>
<p>^agree
today's PSAT was much HARDER</p>
<p>Yeah, that practice test was a joke compared to today's test.</p>
<p>I thought that the CR was harder on today's test, but the math and writing seemed pretty equal.</p>
<p>yea that packet was ridiculously easy compared to today's test. the math and CR were def harder.</p>
<p>Yeah today's test was much harder.</p>
<p>yeah.. i wish i had the wednesday PSAT last year instead!</p>
<p>The practice test was definitely the 2005 Wed. test. My daughter had that one for her PSAT! When my son got his practice test, I pulled out my daughter's PSAT booklet so he'd have an additional practice test ... and that's when I found out that they were one & the same. How hard/easy a particular test seems isn't really relevant, though, because the NMS cutoff is based on percentiles ... so you are "competing" with each other, not with the test itself. In other words, if the test is harder, it's harder for everyone ... there will be the same number of NMS scholars, so the cutoff score simply may be lower.</p>
