Are you doing PTs in order? Or out of order?

Matt Sorr

Leading up to your test date, are you taking PTs in order (like doing PT 80, then 81, then 82, etc)? Or bouncing around? By "bouncing around," I mean taking a PT in, say, the 50s, then maybe one in the 80s, then one in the 70s, etc. I understand that more recent PTs are more representative of modern tests, so I'm not sure that I want to use super recent PTs when I'm still 3+ months away from the actual test. I also don't want to get a false sense of security from older tests if I'm scoring higher on them, however.

I jump between the 70’s and 80’s, using the 60’s as “experimental” and 50’s and older as drills.

So, it’ll be:

PT70 (three section test) and PT60 S1 as experimental
PT80, PT60 S2 as experimental
PT71, PT60 S3 as experimental
Grade PT60
PT81, PT61 S1 as experimental
And so on.

As for BRing my experimental section, I’ll just create a separate problem set and input my BR answers when I finish Section 3 of that PT.

Hope that helps!

@bananabo that is super helpful! Thanks for the input.
