Personally, I don't trust tests made by other than Collegeboard itself because those kind of tests give inaccurate questions and results.

^ It's still practice...
Plus I don't think it's 'inaccurate'. Kaplan has good books for all standardized tests (including APs).
A lot of stuff in CB itself is frickin inaccurate. Like it encourages us to guess on the SAT... Stupid.

Yeah, a lot of the books made by companies other than CB that contain all practice tests are apparently full of errors.

Feed: Guessing isn't bad . . . it's pretty fast + effective when answers can be eliminated. Besides, people don't buy the BB for its strategies.
