<p>So i’ve taken roughly 11 practice tests for SAT II US.</p>
<p>I’m scoring in the 760-800 range, and finish with about 15 minutes left to spare.</p>
<p>But I just took my fourth REA test (they get progressively harder) and I totally (well relatively) tanked and got a 650.</p>
<p>They asked pretty ridiculous questions, like which one of the following abolitionists had a “Sambo personality”. Or asked questions like the population of the US at certain times (I was able to fake my way through those questions).</p>
<p>How realistic are REA tests (are the first couple realistic, and the rest hardcore?) And is there really a generous curve 81/90 raw an 800?</p>
<p>Thx.</p>
<p>I was just about to ask the same question</p>
<p>I saw on other posts that apparently the REA tests are a little harder (I just took the 4th one as well and got an abysmal 580)</p>
<p>What other practice tests did you take?</p>
<p>i took two PR tests from the USH/WH book. I took a peterson’s test. i took 8 sparknotes tests (3 in the real book plus five more in the “just tests” book).</p>
<p>and i took the one from “Real SAT II’s” (old book, but the content of the tests doesn’t change much from year to year). and i took three REA’s before the last one. so i guess that means i took 15… (i take them on the the bus ride to school, and the time between the bus gets to school and when class starts).</p>
