<p>I would suggest not to take more then 1 practice tests every 2 weeks. You might just run out of practice tests fast. Rather a good way to use those two weeks would be to just study the whole test, and try to figure out different methods and strategies to solving the problem (So by chance if you do have the same type of question in the future SAT, then it would be much easier to solve them). After you take the test, I would suggest waiting and giving your self around 1-3 hours a day trying to figure out methods on solving the questions you do not know, on the practice test you took. Until you finish, just wait it out or keep refreshing yourself with questions from the SAT Official Question of the Day, until your 2 weeks passes. Then you may, if you want, take another practice test. If you take 2-3 Practice Tests each week, then you will run out of them fast, even if you also have the Princeton Review 11 practice tests.</p>
<p>I found it to be quite useful. This is just my own way on studying if it is helpful/useful to anything.</p>
<p>A lot of people on CC have like nearly 40+ real sat’s. BB (1st+2nd ed)+online = 21 unique tests + QAS of which there are at least 20 released since 2005. If one has this many exams 1 a week is fine given you are able to review your previous exam well and work on areas your struggling between tests. Ideally only practicing with college board material is best. Using those old 10 real sat’s (minus analogies and quant math) wouldn’t hurt for practice sections. This is at least how I am training in the summer when i have time. I take full tests on saturdays and otherwise am doing practice from 10 real sat and/or reviewing my prep sources during the week. Now i must go do my 7 mile run. Err.</p>
<p>I thought I needed some elaboration on the actual number of QAS’s that a test-voracious CC’er may have.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think this is not true. Let me define what I mean by the SAT first; the SAT refers to all the tests from March 2005, inclusive. The Saturday QAS’s so far released are:</p>
<p>March 2005
October 2005
January 2006
(above three are released by the College Board)</p>
<p>May 2006
October 2006
January 2007
May 2007
October 2007
January 2008
May 2008
October 2008
January 2009
May 2009
October 2009
January 2010
May 2010</p>
<p>so 16 Saturday tests in total. One may have more if he or she has additional Sunday exams.</p>
<p>Online Course also offers 6 unique exams that are not related in any way with the QAS. The rest of the four exams are QAS’s; one of them is called the pre-test and is actually adapted from the preparation booklet of the year.</p>
<p>-22 exams so far</p>
<p>BB also offers 7 exams. Sadly, the College Board re-used 7 of the exams from the Official Study Guide 1st Edition. The rest are QAS’s too.</p>
<p>-29 exams so far</p>
<p>So it seems that there’s about 29 SAT’s. Also, one could use PSAT’s too for additional help or for practical purposes, such as studying for the PSAT. I use PSAT’s for experimental sections so that I actually finish 10 sections for each of the practice tests that I take.</p>
<p>^ actually no. The first BB test is a QAS, too.
And you are a racist, sir, because you discriminate against prime numbers. Prime numbers contribute a great deal of diversity in the world of real numbers. I am reporting the post now. (joking)</p>
<p>oops… I am sorry. Guess prime numbers should be discriminated against, after all.
In any case, I apologize for giving y’all misinformation… I stand corrected. :)</p>
<p>But getting back to OP’s point…I strongly agree. So many people post saying “I’ve used up the BB tests” – It would be better to spend more time analyzing your work on a BB test than to waste it on non-College Board tests.</p>
