<p>I’d say I agree.</p>
<p>I devoted a year to that thing, and 3 months before the test I would churn out about 2 hours a day for studying. Only problem? I was working hard, not smart.</p>
<p>I guess it depends mostly on a) what you’re aiming for b) your diagnostic score without studying - some people are just naturally more talented at standardized testing
I was simply going through the motions, not really focusing on my weak spots as much as I should have. My avg PSAT practice scores was at 217, but I hit 230 on a magical day of genius. However, I think I burnt myself out, getting 2100 on the SAT. This was after 22 Practice Tests and review of each one. </p>
<p>I don’t know about you, but I’m a person who doesn’t like taking breaks, no matter how much I need them.</p>
