How to use practice tests?

<p>Hello! I know how people say "Practice makes perfect", and I was wondering what everyone does after taking their practice tests. How do you analyze what you do wrong and correct it the next time around? (I've been plateauing at a 31 in english D: ahh....) Also, is it recommended that you retake a practice test over? (sorry if it sounds like a dumb question..) I just wanted to know how others used practice tests most effectively.
Thanks so much!!</p>

<p>Firstly, never reuse a practice test. I don’t care what anyone else says. Secondly, you have to figure out why you got the problem wrong. It’s not like you can just look at the correct answer and never make the same mistake again. You have to analyze what the problem asked, understand what you should have realized or known in order to have gotten it correct, and formulate a plan in order to never get another similar problem wrong. By the way, this isn’t just for some questions; you have to repeat this process not only for every problem you answered incorrectly but also any on which you guessed or were generally unsure. Slacking will only hurt yourself.</p>

<p>Look at the type of questions you got wrong and study those areas the most</p>
