I was just wondering how similar these practice tests are compared to the real thing? I'm taking them right now and they seem too easy. Then again, I'm a SECOND YEAR science student now, well-trained in the ways of... Whatever. Can't believe I only got a 62 composite last year...

Anyways, rambling. Are the practice tests about the same difficulty as the real thing?

Yes, but the real thing is much longer as you know, so it will seem harder of course. But the individual questions will be about the same.

The tests definitely are similar - in fact, sometimes you'll see a question or two from the practice tests on the real thing. There's always a chance some sections on the actual thing will feel different - for example, I thought the quantitative ability on the actual test was easier. Of course, I may have just been in the zone for the real thing. 😛

i thought that the earlier exams, 2005 i think it was, were easier than the more recent one (2008 i believe?) pearson provided. it was the most like the real thing IMO but overall its a very fateful portrayal of the real thing, take it as such and you'll do fine
