The AB tests in the PR book seem really easy. The college board practice mini AB test is much harder than what is seen in the PR Tests. I guess it is silly for me to ask which is more accurate, but It is hard for me to believe that PR would have something totally off the marker.

PR is ALWAYS easier use barrons nad kaplan never use PR they are always way too easy, the only thing I like them for is their nice format and design none, very little of which helps improves your grade

i disagree, i think the PR is pretty accurate. The questions seem to be similar to ap questions. in general i think pr's questions are very accurately modeled on actual ap questions. Barrons are always much harder and nowhere near the real ap questions.

I thought the PR tests were pretty reliable too - much more realistic. Definitely worth using.

I just came here after using my Barrons calculus because I'm so frustrated. Some of the problems just don't seem right to me? I don't know...maybe my 98 averages in calculus all year don't mean crap on the AP exam (well, the really don't...lol) Please tell me the Barrons book is a difficult one!
