   There are a variety of test prep companies that also publish their own materials. It’s important to note that while their tests may be written by well-qualified academic experts, they are not written by The College Board (the actual organization behind the SAT Exam). Whether or not they are more/less difficult is ultimately irrelevant. The bottom line is they are inaccurate.

   To ensure that your practice test scores accurately reflect your true abilities, it is highly recommended that you stick with official College Board tests only. There are plenty of highly effective SAT Prep programs that exclusively utilize College Board tests as part of their curriculum. You can visit http://www.collegeboard.com to obtain a free exam. The Official SAT Study Guide (2nd edition) is the current standard if you are looking for the best source for multiple SAT exams. The exams they use are real, previously-administered exams. You can be the judge as to why a tutoring organization would choose to print their own materials vs. utilizing an affordable text book (in the $15 price range) from the makers of the actual exam.

   Best wishes for success on the SAT!

   Disregard all that. The ONLY reliable tests are in the official College Board Blue book, now second edition.

   You should know that the only real predictor of the SAT results is taking the actual test itself./
