Experimental Section while PTing

Where do you typically put yours -- do you alternate between it being section 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5? Perhaps a silly question.

    I use a random number generator, because test day it will be essentially random. Set it to 1-5 and give it a go

    I usually just set it for the first section to warm my brain up for the next sections. I've heard that the experimental section is usually within the first 3 sections rather than the last 2.

    I always put it before my worst section (RC).

    I always put it first and use a separate score sheet so I don't end up with multiple PTs on one Scantron. I cannibalize other earlier tests in the 30s and 40s to use as 5th sections and then once I finish 4 PTs with 5 sections, I will actually have finished 5 PTs and have an extra one to score and BR.

    The PT you take will already be in a random order so putting it first isn't a big deal IMO, and you're more likely to be more motivated during your first section than any other if anything goes wrong down the line. Scoring the 5th sections as a full PT keeps up the motivation as well.
