SAT US History -- How hard is Barron's?

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation

I’m quite concerned with how I’ve been performing on the Barron’s tests for US history. The questions are very specific and I have never heard of some of the people mentioned! Is this just me? I’m finding the princeton review a lot easier. How close is a Barron’s test to what the actual SAT is like?

Thanks!

Barrons is nothing like the actual thing. Don’t waste your time with super specific details. I scored like a 600 on the one test I tried. I skimmed Princeton Review and I think it looked like the actual test, but I didn’t actually use it because I took the SAT US history test a week before my AP exam so I studied for both using my AP review book. 5 on the AP exam and 800 on the subject test.
