College Board Past PSATs
Hey guys, I have decided that I cannot trust the prep books as much as i used to, therefore I am planning to get a bunch of the past PSATs from college board, but I am wondering if they come with answers? (Since they never said anything about it). If they don't come with answers, where could I get the answers?
Thnx!!!!!!!!

And also, did anyone get them as well? Did they help??? How did you do on your PSATs?

=)

Try Barron's 2400. It says a few smart things that I ended up internalizing and utilizing while testing. Other prep books are geared toward students who score slightly above average.

To answer your questions, you'd be better off just buying the College Board's Blue Book and then taking those tests. The PSAT and the SAT are very similar-- the SAT is slightly harder-- so it wouldn't hurt to just practice for the SAT!

Yep, I have gotten both the Barron's 2400 and the Blue Book. However I kind of want more practice with actual questions, you know? The BB only offers 8 tests, and sometimes I kinda remember the answers for some questions no matter how hard I try to forget it. So that has been a problem for me...

Honestly, although the PSAT is shorter, I've found it to be more difficult than the SAT overall... the mistakes are worth too much apiece for me. I think studying using the PSATs will help.

i've seen barron's 2400...i didn't like it because it was hard and just threw it at someone

honestly the #1 think i hate about practicing for SATs is that i get mad when i get answers wrong and then i burn the book

I am not 100% sure but I heard that collegeboard will send it to you if you call them. Actually, I need to do that too.
