<p>I’m an incoming junior who lives in Illinois and am preparing for the SAT/PSAT this October. I have a few questions about the PSAT. I have been doing extensive SAT prep and will start PSAT prep soon.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Should I buy the 3 dollar cb released PSATs? I got a PR PSAT book but Princeton seems harder than usual. </p></li>
<li><p>Do the cb PSATS come with answers?</p></li>
<li><p>Is the PSAT as hard as the SAT?</p></li>
<li><p>Is it plausible to raise me score from 185 last year to 220 this year?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>If you could answer any of these questions for me I would greatly appreciate it.</p>
<p>If you can, buy the PSAT’s. Use them for timed practice. They are $3.00 plus $6.00 shipping no matter how many you order. There are 7 or 8 available. You have to email them for the answers. Do that when you place the order. </p>
<p>The PSAT is shorter than the SAT, but the questions are similar and no essay on PSAT. You should get the SAT Blue Book for additional practice. If you’re scoring well on practice tests, you might want to take the SAT in October or November while the material is still fresh.</p>
<p>A 35 point increase is doable, but will take a lot of work. You will need to get no more than 10 questions wrong. Read the Xiggi method which is stickied at the top of the SAT prep section of CC. </p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
