<p>How do you do the blue book? I tend to do a section or two at a time, is that bad? I see that a lot of people take the whole thing at once. I may switch over to that method soon.</p>
<p>I try to do the whole thing at once...but with school and all...that's not always possible. It's not often I get a chunk of free four hours, so I tend to do a couple sections at a time.</p>
<p>I think that you should probably do it in one sitting because sometimes what happens is that people tend to make a lot of mistakes near the end of sections simply because they are tired. Trying to take it like you would a real SAT will help you to build up enough stamina to resist making silly mistakes.</p>
<p>When I took the first test in the blue book, I was totally exhausted by the end of it. But by test #8, I had become so used to it that I was surprised when I had already reached the last section.</p>
<p>But if you would like to just work sections, try the Princeton Review books or something and save the blue book tests, which come straight from Collegeboard, for when you try to take the test in one sitting.</p>
<p>Well, I first read through the entire Collegeboard Book and have just came to my first practice test. Really, I just do section by section. Eventually, when I finish the first test, I'm going to start taking full length tests.</p>
<p>iT IS POintless to do the whole test at ones.First do all the CR sections from all the tests,than the Math sections and then the writing ones.</p>
<p>you should have taken at least 1 test in testing conditions by the time you get to your real SAT. The reason for this is so that you can find out if you get fatigued. If you do, that's something you need to work on. If not, just do the sections one at a time, timing yourself on those individual sections. As long as you go over your mistakes, it really shouldn't matter how you take the test.</p>
<p>So Ivan, you wouldn't recommend doing a mixture of section? Like 1 CR and 1 Math in one sitting?</p>
<p>I didnt mean this.It is up to you.I just think,it would be better to focus on CR first and do all the sections of all the tests in 2-3 days.Then ,you will know your weaknesses and can work to improve .Otherwise,if you take CR - Math,CR-math-Wr you just move to the next section forget what you had done wrong.</p>

<p>Wrong, wrong, WRONG! Full tests under real conditions are what you need to do.</p>
<p>If you really must, make your own shorter tests in PSAT format: take two 25 min CR, two 25 min math, and 1 writing 25 min section, and treat it like a PSAT, switching back and forth.</p>
