Hey folks, I typically PT in the high 160s or low 170s when timed, and I don't intend to ever try a practice test untimed because I feel like there just aren't enough tests for that.

However, I was wondering if it would be effective to start doing more untimed work, I've been doing it and have been finding it helpful to recognize patterns (like thinking to myself: okay this is a strength, it makes a causal claim, we're likely looking for an answer choice about some assumption the causal claim makes). I've actually found that thought process pretty helpful for both timing and accuracy.

Specifically, I was wondering if this is generally recommended, specifically for when you are trying to break into the top scores.

My current routine is:

1) Read an Economist article about a topic I don't particularly care for to warm up

2) Do an automatic untimed 4-passage drill or an untimed 25-question drill

3) Blind/Review + Wrong Answer Journal Analysis

Does anyone have any thoughts on whether this is a decent routine?

If it helps, I often will go to like 37-38 minutes on these two drills when untimed, meaning I don't really use much of the extra unlimited time, though getting to 35 minutes without rushing on reading in particular has been really tough for me.
