About how many practice tests does it take for large score increases?

<p>I’m trying to from a 1930 to as high as I can go. 5 tests down, and I’m noticing ~30 increases in each category on average, but it’s a little early to say. </p>

<p>How many did it take for you?</p>

<p>As much as till you actually see improvement… there is no set amount of practice tests, as it varies person by person. Good luck :)</p>

<p>The trick is not repetition. Go study with a friend. When you come to a question that you differ on discuss why you think your answer is correct. This helps you build the reasoning. Mindlessly doing tests does nothing for you as you will continue to get questions wrong and not know why.</p>

<p>@existential12 Well obviously I review my mistakes (as well as lucky guesses) thoroughly after each test. </p>

<p>@BassGuitar I found doing it during my practice test to be more beneficial as I could recall my thought process with better clarity than after. However, that was not the main suggestion. My main suggestion was to find a friend to study with.</p>

<p>Get a tutor for 1-2 days to review your practice tests and give you tips based on the errors… friends can definitely be useful but adult tutors can give you insight others cannot.</p>

<p>Also, you can take 100 practice tests and barely improve in certain score sections… this applies especially to CR.</p>

<p>As they say, work smarter, not harder.</p>
