<p>When you see that you get 2300's on practice tests and such, did you time them?</p>
<p>Right now, where it stands, do you time your practice tests? </p>
<p>Can you give me the difference between your timed/untimed test scores?</p>
<p>1890=untimed for me
no timed yet</p>
<p>Why wouldn’t you time them?</p>
<p>Untimed = 2220
Timed (Actual March) = 1990</p>
<p>I used to extra time to relax and check over my answers :D</p>
<p>There is no point in taking a practice test if you’re not going to time it. The score you get will give no indication of what you can get on the actual test.</p>
<p>I think you should not only time it, but also take it on a Saturday morning. Make it as much like actual testing conditions as possible. (Well, you probably don’t have to go so far as getting a Spanish teacher from your school to walk around your dining room, making sure you’re not cheating and telling you when there are ten minutes left, but you get the idea.)</p>
<p>I actually do better when I time. For some reason, untimed makes me lazier and not want to go back and check my work.</p>
<p>I usually finish the sections with plenty of time to spare when I time, so I know exactly how long and how much I need to go back and check.</p>
<p>For comparison, I took my first practice SAT untimed and got a 2080, and then I took a second one timed and got a range 2250 - 2370</p>
<p>I already finish sections with 5-7 minutes for the 24 minute sections, so no.</p>
<p>Yes, I timed both of them.</p>
<p>

<p>I didn’t do entire practice tests - I only did practice sections, and mostly for the section I needed the most work on (math). I would do the section as fast as I could, then go back and check my answers with the answer key and read explanations to ones I got wrong. This worked brilliantly for me and I finished my last test with a 2260.</p>
<p>Untimed: 1760s
Timed: 2000s</p>
<p>WHAT THE CRAP?</p>
