SAT Physics w/Barrons questions about curve

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation
1

<p>I've been doing SAT II physics prep with the barrons book.
I'm getting about 56 raw points (59 right, 3 blank, 13 errors) And they say that its a 760... Does anyone have experience with the test? How does a 79% get you a 760?!?! I hear that barrons over-preps you. Is that true? Any anecdotal evidence</p>

<p>Just to note, the Barron’s prep is a lot harder than the real thing. That’s why the curve might be so generous with the Barron’s tests.</p>

<p>wow nice curve</p>

5

<p>That’s the curve from the Sparknotes website, BTW. So it’s not Barron’s.</p>

<p>the real curve is like 3-6 missed questions larger</p>
