<p>Hi everyone!
I signed up for one of those free events for the SAT practice tests under testing conditions with the Princeton Review.</p>
<p>How accurate would you say they are? What are they like, how do conditions compare to real testing conditions? Thanks everyone :)</p>
<p>I did one of those for Kaplan, so take this with a massive grain of salt, as PR may do things way differently. With that being said… </p>
<p>They’re interesting. So if I recall correctly, you go to the site around the time of the test and follow whatever links you need to to get to the test. Then a little window pops up with test stuff on it. There’s actually a proctor who uses video chat to talk to everyone taking the test, and even a chat box to ask questions to proctors, who can then answer. The proctors are all friendly and make pathetic but admirable attempts at being funny. The conditions are pretty accurate. Same time limits and all that. It is kinda annoying because IIRC there’s a different window for the answers than for the questions, and flipping back and forth can be kinda annoying. The questions are of roughly the same difficulty as real SAT questions. Overall it was pretty helpful.</p>
<p>Thanks! But the PR one is in person. I don’t know what to expect at the in person one - do I bring a calc? Etc etc there’s like no info onlinel thank you!! </p>
<p>Bring everything you would bring to an actual SAT</p>
<p>Hi Michael,</p>
<p>If you’ve already taken your free practice SAT test with The Princeton Review, then congratulations! If you need the contact information for your local Princeton Review office to help you see your results and get a personal consultation, let me know and I’ll hook you up. If the event hasn’t happened yet, I can also make sure you get the information you need, but you should always bring some #2 pencils and a calculator (any type is okay). It’s also never a bad idea to bring some tissues and to dress in layers as you never know what the climate will be like in your testing room.</p>
<p>Best,</p>
