How many PT's i to be done?

Nathanial

Was just wondering what some of you thought is an optimum amount of PT's to do in a week or maybe even a day? I just started and feel like I can learn more If I don't take breaks right now. What do you guys think?

At my peak, I did 3-4 per week. This may or may not work for you, depending on when you plan to take the exam and how well you understand the material. The issue is that you don't want to burn through PTs too quickly, lest you run out of study material closer to test day (or when studying for a retake). As many around here will tell you, the real learning happens during the blind review; focusing on understanding each and every question in depth will yield better results than will taking a test every day without understanding your mistakes. Whatever study pace you set should allow ample time for BR and treat PTs like the finite (and precious) commodity that they are.

the biggest thing here is burning out, burning through PT's and no BR time. if you are the kind of person that can go crazy and not burn out then awesome and you are lucky lol. 73(74 after dec release) may seem like a lot of PT's but you will eventually realize its not as much as it seems so you dont wanna go through them all too quickly and then have no fresh tests. plus it always good to have some drill stuff set aside. then there is BR... if you are constantly PTing then you wont have much time to properly BR which is the most important thing to do. you need to go through and break down the PT and your thought process and if you are doing 3/4 PTs a day everyday you will not have anywhere near enough time to properly BR them

It sort of depends on your mental endurance. Are you studying full-time or do you have a full-time job? The typical response is 2-3 PT's a week with BR.

3 a week worked for me. I still had enough time to BR and could see my PT scores improving weekly. BR is the key to improvement so just make sure you leave enough time for it.

Thanks everyone. That definitely makes sense. I just finished 2 now and can feel subconciously my BR time going down. Im gonna aim for 4 a week, giving my self 8-9 hours in a day to write the exam and then BR it thoroughly so I don't waste time.
