<p>I want to ask if timing is important when I am working on past SAT questions. I need practice but I don't think I may be capable of sitting for 3-4 hours for a practice test. Is it ok to do it without timing?</p>
<p>Timing yourself is recommended.</p>
<p>Depends on your skill level.
If you find that you are always running out of time, it’s probably best to take it slow and practice solving the problems. If you are pretty confident in your ability, then you should time yourself to emulate the time restraints on the actual test, and practice working within those limits. Doing sections at a time is OK, but if you aren’t capable of sitting for 3-4 hours on a practice test, I would recommend doing the whole thing at once repeatedly until it’s not a problem. Because on the real test, you won’t have the luxury of taking long breaks.</p>
<p>I know I have fatigue problems when I exert my brain for too long.</p>
<p>Well, you may want to begin without timing, to allow yourself to work through the problems completely and get the hang of it. However, the best way for a practice SAT to predict your SAT score is if the conditions are as similar to the actual test as possible.</p>
<p>Though it won’t be as ideal as taking the entire thing in one timed sitting, you could just do the sections timed, and spread it out.</p>
<p>thanks… .that makes a lot of sense…</p>
