<p>I have no idea of what the best way to review the practice tests is. Do you go back and examine every single question? Or do you only look at the wrong question? And when you look at the wrong questions, how do you go about analyzing it exactly? I may understand why I get it wrong, but it still doesn't seem to prevent me from making mistakes like it again. How do you get problems to practice the things you keep doing wrong? I'm just getting frustrated at my lack of improvement. Any tips appreciated.</p>
<p>Some people advocate reviewing every question, but I don’t think that’s necessary – I would just go over the ones you got wrong or were unsure about [you can circle those as you take the test]. When you review, don’t just try to understand the correct answer, but try to see what caused you to make that mistake and the correct reasoning process that should have led to the correct answer. See where your reasoning process diverged from that and ask yourself how you can avoid similar mistakes in the future. Generally, a mistake on one problem is a symptom of a larger issue or general principle that needs to be addressed. That’s why it’s crucial to look for patterns.</p>
<p>^ exactly and another thing is while I don’t suggest looking at every single problem especially on math, the hard-difficulty questions, even ones you didn’t htink you had any problems with at all… look them over, see if you can think of other methods to shave off the time. Usually these hard questions are the time killers, even if you know the method to derive to the correct answer they take a min or more, so figuring out the fastest method will save you the crucial minutes for the problems where you are stunlocked/don’t understand. And yes, while you should try to understand the correct mathematical procedure behind a problem or a grammatical rule, the next step is to see where and why did you go wrong (sometimes it’s cuz you just didn’t know it… other times yeah…)</p>
