I have heard that the tests in the Barrons SAT I and SAT II test books are more difficult than the actual tests? Is this true?

I am using Barron's SAT math workbook, its harder than the actual test.

This is definitely true for Math 2C. I remember taking the Barron's tests and getting 650s and not being able to finish, but the real test was much simpler and I was able to finish it. I would not recommend Barron's for the 2C because there were topics in the book that weren't on the test.

For the SAT1, I thought that Barron's was okay. The level of difficulty was about the same, maybe a little harder. But I think that's good, because you usually do better on practice tests than on the real thing anyway.

Interesting. I actually do far worse on practice tests than on the real ones most of the time.
