Chemistry practice tests

Well I'm taking SAT Chemistry this Saturday as many others I suppose.I've been studying for a month with Sparknotes and Barron's and after that I took 3 Sparknotes tests and scored 520 on all of them.Then I took 3 Barron's test and scored 750 730 and 720 without any additional time.I know that this is quite odd but I just find Barron's questions much more accurate and clearer than Sparknotes ones.What do you think?Should I trust my Barron's scores or not?Are these barron's scores enough for getting 750 on the real thing?

It is my personal experience that the score you receive on the official college board exam will be VERY SIMILAR to the scores you receive in BARRONS but MUCH HIGHER than the scores you receive in SPARKNOTES. Thus, as of now a score of 700+ looks very likely and 750+ possible.

yeah, add like 50-100 points onto the sparknotes score. its chapters and review points are a good read though, especially the colors of flames and solutions.

Oh, I thought the Barron's practice tests were very easy...I took 3 out of the 4 and scored a 780 and 2 800's, but on the real test...well, I did have some testing "accidents" but I scored 60 points lower. :/
