Plz Barrons is a totally irrelevant book and spark notes totally misguide you. Princeton is in ever way better than barrons. Prepare from Princeton. Then do practice tests of Barrons and princeton. Except Biology. When i took my SAT Bio the questions asked wre neither fromm princeton nor from Barrons. There is an Ebook here on xtremepapers of Peterson for Bio. Its better. Other than that It all depends on the day.
Oh Boy! What I mean is do PRACTICE TESTS from all. I did say that prepare notes from Barron's but its not necessary to do it from Barron's :)

Well as solidboy said as practice they give a different angle. Sure. However when i took my Subject tests and a did some Papers from spark notes my Phy marks were 7 30 780 760. In the end I got 800. The only thing the sparknotes did was freak me out that i didn't know anything nd make me work harder. So its upto you. Personally I don't think they are worth the effort

My Bio and Chem were amazing. Can say the same about physics, I had to leave so many questions. :(

what if you left 10 ten and got ten wrong
:( did paper yesterday .. didnt go exactly as planned after preparing so much

Last year I skipped more than 10 MCQs Probably very few were wrong. And I got 750 in Physics.

This time the paper was much harder.

They calculate your raw score. 1 for correct answer and -0.25 for wrong.

Then they convert the raw score to actual score out of 800. Which varies every time. According to the paprer.

so if a person gets 39 correct and 1 wrong. what will his score most likely be??

depends on which test ... for maths that score would be 38.75/50 and for chemistry it would be 38.75/85 ... you can get a perfect score if u got 80% or more answers correct but that just an estimate .. it changes time from test to test ..
