<p>Does the book include how to convert raw scores on practice test into their scaled scores? Please also list its good qualities.</p>
<p>It’s not reliable. Go with the BB.</p>
<p>… this question has been asked a thousand times before and could easily have been answered by searching a little or looking at the sticky. ,</p>
<p>but anyways, PR tends to be somewhat easier comparing to the real test, while its no guaranteed, I recommend subtracting 50-70 points from your score.</p>
<p>so would the college board book be better?</p>
<p>Yes. The tests are much more accurate because they’re made by the company that makes the real test.</p>
<p>Here’s a good way to convert your PR scores to reliable College Board scores</p>
<p>1) Obtain your PR reading, writing, and math scores
2) Divide the scaled score for each subsection by 1/2 your raw score (disregard the negative sign if necessary)
3) Multiply that product by a factor of 30.1125 (don’t ask why, derived this number after a lot of experimentation)
4) Subtract 15
5) Round to the nearest multiple of 10
6) Now for section specific adjustments
Math: Subtract 10
Critical Reading: Add 10
Writing: Leave as is
7) Add up all three and…bang your head against the wall when you realize that all these calculations were meaningless and you should’ve known PR makes crappy practice tests</p>
<p>I thought as much. The thing is that I friend of mine that got a 2000 somthing on the SAT told me that PR is considered the best SAT prep book. I figured that the college board book would be better. I was just trying to confirm things.</p>
<p>That’s fine, but you’re getting negative replies because this is a common question and there’s a new sticky at the top of the forum that contains all sorts of advice (i.e. CB tests only).</p>
