Don't trust the practice tests!

I took this test this morning and barely missed with a 49. I have had two years of high school spanish. I am definately not fluent, but I can usually tell pretty well whats going on. Here's what kills me, I made a 77 on petersons practice test! 77! I know Petersons is easier, but I made a 63 on REA's practice test, which I thought was supposed to be harder than the real thing. I have no idea how I came out with a 49. I felt fairly confident throughout the test and I really thought I had 12 credits in the bag. While I was taking the test I didn't think it was harder than REA, but I guess it is. Anyway moral of the story: Make sure you are acing REA if you are hoping for 12 credits.

Actually, I think it probably varies from test to test how Peterson's and REA line up with the real thing. There are definitely tests where Peterson's are noticeably harder than the actual test.

Sorry, I thought I put this in specific exam feedback under spanish. It was there yesterday. Can someone move this please? Thank You.
