<p>I’ve taken 2 English practice tests, one yesterday and one today from the red book. </p>
<p>Yesterday I scored a 29 and today I scored a 30, completing all 75 questions in around 38 minutes both days. Due to completing the sections in 38 minutes I have 7 extra minutes to use checking my work, however, these past two times I didn’t circle the ones I wasn’t sure about and should go back to, which probably hindered my score because going through 75 questions in 7 minutes to locate the questions I actually want to check is a big waste of time. </p>
<p>Would the most beneficial way for me to spend my last 7 minutes be to go over the ones I circled (assuming I circle the ones I’m unsure about tomorrow) or is there an even more effective way to use the 7 minutes? </p>
<p>Generally, the ones I miss are the ones that I would have circled.</p>
<p>“Generally, the ones I miss are the ones that I would have circled.”</p>
<p>you answered the question yourself. Yes, it sounds like a good strategy. </p>
<p>As for going back to other non-circled questions:
Which type of questions do you miss? Are they the final questions at each passage, that ask you to bring it all together, or just silly grammar ones? If the former, it’d be easy to review those long, difficult questions quickly at the end.</p>
<p>It would seem as though I scored the one I just took incorrectly. I ended up getting a 31. </p>
<p>It would seem as though many of my wrong answers were simple mistakes, or in the way I read the sentences while taking the test. For example, one of the sentences sounded awkward while I was reading it with the correct answer in it while I was going through the questions, but when I went back right now it sounded perfectly fine. </p>
<p>I don’t feel the need to touch up on my grammar skills, just the need to keep going through these practice tests. </p>
<p>I only have 3 in the red book though, so I don’t know what the next best thing would be to do other than taking these 3 tests over again.</p>
