<p>Princeton Review: 750-780
Sparknotes: 720, 760, 780
Real: 800</p>
<p>I’ve gotten 800 on Barron’s and 640 on sparknotes… I’m taking it next week. Should I be worried?</p>
<p>PR: 740, 780, 680</p>
<p>Real: 780 (May 2011)</p>
<p>Sparknotes: 650
Real: 790 :)</p>
<p>Update to my Practice Test Scores:
PR: 780,770,730
Collegeboard Real: 750 (with luck –> some descriptive chem questions I was lucky)
Barron’s: 780(Diag),760,790</p>
<p>Is Sparknotes really that much harder??
Can someone please confirm that the 3rd (last) Princeton Review Test is extremely hard?</p>
<p>Why do you say that the Sparknotes tests are bad? Are they too difficult or too easy compared with the real thing?</p>
<p>I was scoring mid 700s on Sparknotes chem, and got 800 on SAT chem. I think it may be in part due to increased focus on the real exam. For the sparknotes ones, I didn’t even bother to check my answers because I was just going for the practice</p>
<p>Official SAT Subject Tests Study Guide: 770 or 780 (can’t remember)</p>
<p>Actual: 800</p>
<p>I used AP Chem PR as my prep book, not an SAT Chem prep book.</p>

Every Sparknotes test I’ve taken has been quite a bit harder than the real. This doesn’t mean it’s bad, quite honestly I’d say it’s a good thing if you’re using it as a diagnostic tool. I got 70% on Sparknotes AP Euro, vs 90%+ on two old AP Euro tests. I got a 750 in US History Sparknotes, 800 in reality. I got 740 for Sparknotes Chem, 800 in reality.</p>
<p>Princeton Review: 800, 800
Barrons: 770, 800
CB Practice: 800
Sparknotes: 680 (they marked questions wrong that were correct)
USNCO: 57/60</p>
<p>Real thing: 800</p>
<p>Highly recommend doing AP chem practice things. They make the SAT look easy.</p>
<p>PR: 780</p>
<p>Actual: 740</p>
<p>Should I retake?</p>
<p>not really worth retaking.</p>
<p>yeah that last pr test was HELLA hard. I got a 780 on the second and then i got a 690 on the third. ***.</p>
<p>I just started legitely studying today but I plan on cramming HELLA tomorrow. </p>
<p>Think I can get an 800? Cause everyone’s practice scores are lower than their actual… im hoping mine turn out that way too.</p>
<p>but I got a 730 on the actual practice CB for 2005. </p>
<p>please tell your thoughts!</p>
<p>i’ve gotten: 740 PR, 580 SN (jeez), and 660 Barron’s… what am i expected to get?</p>
<p>the way to really prepare for this test is to tell yourself that you know everything. Then you will get a good score. I took a practice exam a few months ago and got low 500. Then, I boosted my confidence and I got an 800 on a practice exam (CB one). </p>
<p>So, yeah just trust yourself I guess…</p>
<p>I feel like when I take a test on a PR book or Barron’s I do so much better than the actual exam…</p>
<p>PR: Test 1 - 750
Barron’s Test 1 - 720, Test 2 - 780 (took it with a friend LOL), Test 3 - 720</p>
<p>SN - just horrible… like 500s</p>
<p>Just wondering, what sort of info in the Kaplan books are superfluous? Am taking mine tmr!</p>
<p>tomorrow is friday…?</p>
<p>rofl you forgot that it was 2:15 AM which means that today is friday and tomarrow is saturday</p>
<p>lmao at @vbpointer42.</p>
<p>how is barrons compared to the actual test? i have landed straight up 620-650 range for the last 3 practices and got a 550-600 range on my first one><.</p>
<p>i really want to break 680-700 range. then again i am retaking this again in oct~</p>
