<p>I just took a the diagnostic test for barrons Physics workbook and scored a 780?!</p>
<p>This is my second physics test and I did much worse on the first one. All I did for the second one is study for a few hours from my notes. </p>
<p>Is the diagnostic test much easier than other barrons tests, and even the real thing? </p>
<p>I am just in disbelief that I would get a 780 in a barrons test. This has to be some sort of fluke.</p>
<p>Yeah I got a 790 on the Diag Test, and my score range on the subsequent tests was 710-760 or something.</p>
<p>I knew it, I guess I should subtract 100 points to get my barrons score, and ~50 points to get my real sat score?</p>
<p>Diagnostic Test is just for checking your basic understanding and your strong and weak points. As such, its easier. (Barron’s of Physics is easier than compared to other books unlike maths one, which is harder).</p>
<p>I just did the 2nd barrons physics practice test and scored a 740. </p>
<p>What will my real sat score be then? estimate?</p>
<p>posterguy, I predict you get around 750.</p>
<p>i would say about 720 - 760 . But remember, prediction is always based on half knowledge. And hhome conditions can never precisely mirror with the Test conditions.</p>
<p>i.e The stress of unable to do a question, strict timing, etc is not there.</p>
<p>I got 730 on my diagnostic test. 780 on my first test, and 770 on my second test.</p>
<p>Ended up with a 790 in the actual which was much harder than the barron tests. I suggest use more than one book to prepare yourself for the test. One book cant cover all the topics that the collegeboard might test you on.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>The real physics test is really that much harder than barrons? </p>
<p>Noooooooooooo</p>
<p>I don’t have any other prep materials, except for 1 college board test from the prep book. </p>
<p>What else can I do to prepare for the harder material in the real test?</p>
<p>What did you guys use?</p>
<p>Barrons was pretty hard. I recommend Kaplans</p>

<p>you thing barrons physics practice tests were harder than the actual thing? </p>
<p>I don’t know what to believe</p>
