Barrons is a piece of crap. Don't use it. I would get 28's on their practice tests and I worried myself sick about the real one but ended up with a 34.
so why would it be a piece of crap .. their questions may be harder, but Barron's "harder" will help you in the long run for the actual test. The science section is actually extremely difficult in Barron's and I got a 24 on their practice test, but ended up with a 30 on the actual test. I believe it really helped out.
They aren't "hard" per se... just somewhat idiotic. I would get so frustrated by their answer explanations on the reading tests. Whoever makes those questions makes them way too subjective.
