<p>how accurate is the on-line test</p>
<p>please evaluate - harder/ easier/ the same</p>
<p>it's ok,
I got a 770 on the sparknotes test,</p>
<p>but got 800 on the real thing, so I guess it's harder</p>
<p>its different, taking an online tests and taking a real one. I fine myself being more relaxed with sparks and end up making more mistakes . I got average of 670 on sparks, 800 on iic.</p>
<p>also sparks has quite a bit of mistakes.. and questions where they arel ike "refer to the diagram above" when there is no diagram.</p>
<p>I kept getting 650-720 on Sparknotes/PR tests.</p>
<p>Got a 770 on the real thing. Then again, I'm one of those people who always does better when it's time to actually write the SAT.</p>
<p>jpps1,
I hope I am one of those people too</p>
<p>Sparknotes vs. Barrons, which one do you guys prefer?</p>
<p>I got 790 on sparknotes, 800 on the real thing.</p>
<p>Is the sparknotes guide that good? Is it better than Barrons?</p>
<p>Hi</p>
<p>My S has both Barrons and SparkNotes. From what I've read on CC, Barrons is very thorough and somewhat difficult to get through. It covers information that is not on the test. If you understand Barrons, you should have no problems come test day.</p>
<p>Sparknotes: very easy format. I think it covers just the basics of what's on the test, nothing more. They recommend practice tests and learning from your mistakes.</p>
<p>If you are taking the test this Saturday and are short on time, I would recommend Sparknotes.</p>
