Drilling practices?

alisaromanov101

After our first PT, should we be drilling our weakest sections until we get all of the questions on the "hard" setting correct, within the time frame? Or is 4/5 good enough to move on. I'm not sure how many drill rounds per section I should be doing, so that I don't waste clean practice questions but that I also understand how to better approach the sections...

Personally, and again this is my opinion, but I do not think you can "waste practice questions" like many people say, there are literally thousands and thousands of questions and I do not think you will ever see all of them. Assuming you somehow see all of them, by the time you start over you will have forgotten the correct answer's.

My best recommendation for improving is doing 25 of your weakness on medium or hard (medium is a tad easier and confidence boosting, hard will be pretty similar difficulty to test day) for unlimited time, you will see the same question so many times your routine will become second-nature. Apply strategies that work, test new methods, think clearly. Then review what you got wrong and why. Then do another 25 of your weakness in 35 mins just like a real section and from then out to get your pacing and timing correct.

For me personally, that has translated to the best results. Learn, review, application. Then work on your next weakness the same way. The only way to improve is by seeing every way they try and trick you. Taking 25 questions in 35 minutes is the expectation on test day and if you're comfortable doing that IT WILL SHOW. It is the most stressful study method with lots of questions, but it truly will translate. I wish you all the best!!

How should I best spend my time drilling if I'm consistently only getting high value questions wrong?
