I’m in the same boat as you for next week. Luck will determine if I get a 650, 700, 750, especially since i’ve been too busy to do these lately…

Just do as many blue book practice tests as you can under ideal conditions (real timer, bubble in if you have to) imo… track down some legal official ones, some illegal ones if you have to. Work through the problems after the time limit (though they’re wrong given your scoring) and understand why you’ve gotten them wrong.

The answer could very well be the highest or lowest value. Unless it’s absolutely unreasonable given the context of the problem, extreme answers are much fair game as the middle answers.
For modelling problems (how many calls, what percent of m is b, etc.) where there is no obvious integer answers, if there’s an answer you don’t understand, it’s not stupid and it may be correct.
Do at least look at some of the difficult problems. There’s a fair chance one is really challenging but very quick to solve if you immediately understand what it wants.
Check your answers in fill in the blank sections. Even if it’s just glancing to see if they’re filled in properly…
Work through the problems traditionally and quickly unless you’re comfortable with “gaming” them… many MC answers are trick ones that will catch you if you’re doing too much in your head…
