Sparknotes Practice Tests

Are the practice tests by Spark Notes an accurate depiction of the tests administered by CB?

Subjects:
- Physics
- Chemistry
- Math II

I've seen around from other's that Sparknote's Practice Test for Math II is pretty similar to the real thing, for the others, not entirely sure.

Chemistry is pretty similar, in my opinion, but maybe even harder. On the SparkNotes tests, I got about 650-680 on each test, but I got a 790 on the actual exam.

What about Maths and Physics?

I did 2 tests for both subjects and got 680 and 740 for both subjects.

I'm almost certain Physics is harder. I got in the range of 720-760 on Sparknotes and 800 on the real thing in October.

Heard math 2 was really accurate. Overprepping is never a bad thing.

I found Sparknotes SAT Subject Tests to be very accurate.

For SAT General, I had better luck prepping on TestBeast.com
