<p>I'm using Barron's to prepare for SAT II Chem December 2nd, and I was wondering what score on the practice tests would project a 750+ on the real thing. Thanks :)</p>
<p>umm.i tried that book before my chem test and normally get around like 690-750ish. and i scored a 700 on the test even though i felt like the test was much easier >.<. If you use the kaplan chem book, its more realistic to the real one.</p>
<p>i scored two 700's and two 750's on the four tests in the back of the barron's book. i ended up with a 780 on the real thing. :)</p>
<p>Cool, thanks :)
I scored 2 "680-700" and 1 "720-750". Gonna take the 4th one soon.</p>
<p>Anyone know if Barrons chem tests are harder than the actual thing? I just got the book and scored a “700-720” on the diagnostic. Is this test realistic compared to the real thing?</p>
<p>By the way, I know this thread is very old. It really doesn’t matter (either that or I start my own thread) ;)</p>
<p>Same I think for my daugher.</p>
<p>Barron’s book is somewhat harder than the real thing, and that being said, its tests are also somewhat inaccurate. Additionally, Barron’s curves are somewhat more generous than the real SAT. </p>
<p>On the real SAT Chem, you can miss between 2-4 (out of 90) before dropping down from 800 (~ -10 score for every 1 point below the 800 threshold)</p>
<p>Sorry i know this is off topic but how does Barron’s ACT book compare to the real test? Harder, easier?</p>
<p>@Hockeydude664, you’re better off asking this question in a separate thread in the ACT test prep forum</p>
<p>rkanan, are you sure? first of all, there are only 85 questions, right? </p>
<p>I’ve been taking the Barron’s practice tests and I got 780, 790, 770, and 800. I also took 2 of the Kaplan test and I got a 770 and 780. Is it feasible for me to get an 800 on the real test that is in 2 days?</p>
