<p>Hey guys I was just wondering if the way I'm using the blue book is effective. I just started and what I've been doing for the past 3 days is concentrating on writing as I've heard that's the easiest to master. I go to each practice test and do just the writing sections,score them, and finally review the questions I got wrong. Is it more effective to do whole tests at a time to get used to the strain of a 3 hour test? Also I don't use the bubble sheets I just circle my answers, is this bad because bubbling in reality takes more time so I'm probably finishing faster than I would on the real test?</p>
<p>I think that doing a whole 3 hour test has no use, especially if you are already good at one of the sections (like 750+ already). When I was using the BB, I didn’t do any of the math sections (got a 770 on my first SAT), and I only did reading and writing. So if you feel that writing is all you need to improve, then its fine to only do writing. But still, even if you are only doing writing, still make sure that you’re timing each section, and not giving yourself extra time. And also, before you go over to see which ones you got wrong, do both of the writing sections on the test, then check them both at the same time. Then finally go over everything you got wrong. Just by doing what you’re doing, I raised critical reading 90 points to a 680, and writing 180 points to an 800.</p>
<p>alright thanks and what about using the scantron vs circling?</p>
