The PR is the 2004 edition, and has two tests in it
If anyone has the current ( 2007-08) one, I can scan the tests in exchange for the scans of this year's tests

Barrons is usually considered to be harder than the actual Math 2 test. I'm not sure about Princeton Review. I don't need to study for Math 2 because I'm already a Senior.

yea I pretty much did the exact same thing as you. My raw score is about 12 points lower on Barron's tests. Also, according to the Princeton review score conversion for Math II a raw score of 45 is a 740. According to Barron's any raw score above 44 is an 800. Why does PR have such a harsh scale for Math 2; Their Math 2 curve looks just like their math 1 curve.

The PR's original score conversion is wrong. I just found this updated score conversion sheet in my 2007-2008 edition and according to it, 43 is still 800 while 42 is 790.
