<p>So there's usually one section on all my PR practice tests which has a grammar sections with 3 reading selections. The section in 6 pages long;
page 1 = grammar (5 questions)
page 2 = 2 short paragraphs w/ 4 questions
pages 3-4 = Long excerpt w/ 8 questions
pages 5-6 = Long Excerpt w/7 questions </p>
<p>And the time limit is 25 minutes. I usually only have about 5-7 minutes left when it comes to
the last reading section and without reading it at least once, I feel like I'll get a lot of easy questions wrong. Any strategy ideas?</p>
<p>Before you go any further my friend, do not use PR for practice tests!</p>
<p>They are highly inaccurate, never use 3rd party books for practice tests. Only use the Blue Book from collegeboard for practice tests.</p>
<p>We need to get a sticky up that says third party tests are not to be worried about. Far too many people think 3rd party studying is a good idea.</p>
<p>yeah the questions in my PR book seem easier compared to the blue book’s. i only use PR for extra practice. But is there really a section like the one i described on the actual SAT?(i’ve never taken an actual college board test before so im not quite sure)</p>
<p>^ Why would you use PR before the Blue Book???</p>
<p>And to answer your question, I’ve personally never been pressed for time on any of the official tests I’ve taken.</p>
<p>I just want to say I feel more prepared with 3rd party books just because after I finish a PR practice test I get a 1780 and then when I take the real BB test I get a 1910. Meaning I get more preparation from PR than BB.</p>
<p>JUST SAYING</p>
<p>Well even if they are inaccurate scoring wise, PR books or any third party book is a great source for practice questions. I’m not defending the use of third party books for scoring purposes but just for the sake of doing some drills. </p>
<p>And @Dusterbug,
I use both PR and BB and I see the 6-page long reading section on both PR and BB practice tests, so I’m assuming they would be on the actual SAT (I’ve never taken an actual SAT before, just practice tests), so I’m simply wondering if anyone has a strategy when taking long reading sections.</p>
