<p>First off, I<code>d like to apologize for my demented apostrophes. The real apostrophe key doesn</code>t work.</p>
<p>Last year for Euro, my teacher advised us to get the Princeton Review book. When we asked if we should take the practice test, she said we can try, but that the questions in the book are harder than the real ones.</p>
<p>Is that truw for all of Princeton Review<code>s books? I took, so far, two practice U.S. History SAT IIs, and I got a 590 on my Princeton Review one, and a 710 on my Real SATs one. I got a 760 on my Real SATs for World, but I couldn</code>t find a Princeton Review for world history, so there<code>s nothing to compare to. On my Princeton Review chem, I got a 710; on my PR Math IC and IIC I got a dismal score (as in less than 600, but that</code>s good considering I didn` finish either of them... I hope).
Please tell me that I`m not going to fail. >_<</p>
<p>Hate to break it to you but PR is considered on point or even slightly easier than the tests. If you had been talking about Barron's I might hear you, but bad scores on the PR tests means you should buckle down and get them up with some hard work, because they should be relatively representative.</p>
<p>I definitely agree with tn819. The AP US History exams in the PR book, to me, seemed extremely easy. I used to be horrible in APUSH until during Spring Break it suddenly hit me and I seemed to remember everything I read. When I decided to test how well I had prepared I did one of the PR tests and I only missed 4 questions! I'm definitely not trying to brag or anything, but I strongly suggest you review the whole of US History. For the SAT II US History I have the Kaplan book, which seems to be harder than the APUSH PR review book. If you're doing the SAT II in US History, I believe its better to get the Kaplan book rather than PR because the Kaplan is a lot more specific and hopefully similar to the actual SAT II. Hope that helped. :)</p>
<p>Oh OK... that makes a lot of sense now haha. Well, from what i've heard, Barrons is nothing like the actual SAT II US History test and is much harder, throwing in pointless facts and stuff like that. So, I suggest getting the Kaplan or the AMSCO book in order to be more prepared for the actual test.</p>
<p>It depends on the subject. For physics, the PR tests are about the same as the real ones. For chemistry, the first two tests are about the same; the third test is more difficult.</p>
