<p>Would and average score around 39-40 (without the penalty factored in) on Barron’s be enough for a 800 on the real thing? I have a pretty good understanding of the stuff- but there are always questions on Barron’s that I have absolutely no ****ing clue on. Thanks, and also if I get a score other than 800 (but still high) and take it again the next time it’s offered- would that hurt my chances for MIT/Caltech?</p>

<p>Also for Barron’s due to a time constrain I’m taking all the practice tests and pretty much learning how to do most of the problems I missed and referring back to specific sections for help if I still can’t figure it out. Would this method work rather than going through the actual text in depth? THANKS!</p>

<li><p>What subject is this? IIC?</p></li>
<li><p>I don’t think it would damage you chances if you retake and do better, they will pretty much disregard the first time; however, remember that most MIT/CalTech applicants have 800 IICs, so if you get less than an 800 it could hurt you.</p></li>
<li><p>You method of going back and reviewing the stuff you missed is fine. Why learn stuff you already know?!</p></li>
</ol>
<p>lol. and it would be su instead of tu b/c you don’t really no who you are talking to. </p>
<p>also, mark which questions you are unsure of how to do and then go back to those too. i find it common that people just check what they got wrong and never what they guessed but got correct. i think those are just as important also.</p>
<p>Yep, using tu without really know the person and having some sort of close relationship would just be seen as rude in most spanish-speaking countries.</p>
