<p>is it bad if i take longer than actual test-length breaks</p>
<p>and if i do the tests in a chair/laying down instead of at a desk</p>
<p>Any practice is good practice. The short breaks, long testing time, and sitting up in a rigid desk aren't such a big deal as the questions themselves.</p>
<p>um, laying down? I think you should stick to chair and desk...I mean you want to mimic the actual test atmosphere as much as possible right?</p>
<p>I took my practice tests either on the floor or on the bed, because the chair made my back and neck stiff(er?). Yet, I managed to get a higher score on the real SAT. So, I agree with jaimeastorga2000. Do what you can! Something is better than nothing.</p>
<p>As long as you time yourself, you're good. I don't think--I hope--anyone* would claim that sitting in a different kind of chair or taking a longer break would gain you a higher score.</p>
<p>*Hmmm. "I don't think anyone" but "I hope no one." And "I do think someone" but I doubt "anyone." Odd. Very odd. I guess one would have to say "I don't think anyone--I hope no one--would claim. . . ." But, that sounds crappy. . . .</p>
<p>quick question, how are the breaks distributed through the test? and for how long?</p>

<p>Lulz had!
Also, not trying to be picky or anything, but an ellipsis consists of three dots only. =P</p>

<p>Au contraire. :) While it's true than an ellipsis consists of three dots, it does not negate the final punctuation of the sentence. I ended my sentences with ellipses, and so I used four dots--three for the ellipsis, one for the period.</p>

<p>I saw that coming, but let's not turn this thread into a grammar discussion.
(Just on a note your dashes are weird. =P)</p>

E) Are your dashes weird?</p>
<p>(F) You're weird, and so are your dashes.</p>
