<p>I have the barrons CR book and Ive done all the practice tests in it, but I want to do more. I probably don't remember all the questions so I think it would kind of be like doing a new test. What do you guys think? Can re-doing the same practice tests improve your critical reading?</p>
<p>I suggest buying the Blue Book and taking their tests. Even if you don’t remember a question, your subconscious already know the answer.</p>
<p>I agree with the above poster. I tried taking an SAT I thought I didn’t remember and I did really well on it. However, the next time I took a new SAT and didn’t do as well. If you re-take old tests and do well, it may lull you into a false sense of security. I too, think you should buy the Official SAT Study Guide; not so much for the guide, but for the tests. Good luck! :)</p>
<p>As others have said, your score on a re-used practice test will be overly inflated. I literally just took a practice test that I also did during the summer, and my score was much higher than it normally is. I got -3 on CR, -2 on M, and -2 on W; this is a sharp break from my 2070 in December. Overall, it won’t hurt to retake practice tests, but know that you will do better the second time around.</p>
<p>I partly agree with the above posters. The cr scores can be inflated, but math and part of the writing section aren’t. Although it may be just me, I tend to forget math and writing problems…maybe it is because they seem easy to me and thus I don’t really remember them.
If you are one who memorizes the sat tests, I suggest during the last week to do the ones you do memorize. The self-confidence you gain is really important for the upcoming test.</p>
<p>Yeah but if you have SO much self-confidence on test day, when you will encounter passages that are more “difficult” since you haven’t seen them before, you will be utterly shocked. = fail. Obviously, that’s a drastic case but it happens to some people</p>
<p>I mean the last week…like I posted above. Of course people cannot practice with them or else they will become complacent. But I mean the days leading up to the test.</p>
<p>Yeah exactly, i know some people that will be appalled to suddenly realize that they aren’t really prepared at all and that they just have a false sense of security. This is obviously extreme, as i said above.</p>
