How accurate is the online Sparknotes SAT I test?

This is my last chance to take the SAT. Please help!

I'm not sure about accuracy, but I do think that the Sparknotes questions are a lot different from actual SAT problems. Since you only have one week left, why not stick to actual SAT exams? Also, there were a lot of incidences where you would put in the right answer and Sparknotes would mark it wrong, and then after reading the answer explanation you realize the answer you put was actually correct. Then there're math questions that you can't even read, etc... But score-wise they're relatively accurate. For me, at least.

Get CollegeBoard's Official Guide to the SAT. It'll help you out a lot

Not accurate at all, trust me. I scored a 1700 on the Sparknotes SAT while I scored higher than 2100 on both of my real attempts.

Like stated above, stick to the Collegeboard versions.

i dont do anything but collegeboard, i need to get myself in the mindset of the format and question types. I took both the college board blue book 10 tests, and online tests.
