There isn’t a hard rule in admissions about taking more than 3 exams. So I would ignore that argument. It’s important to look at the opportunity cost of studying. Taking it 4 times is rarely necessary since the tests are standardized, which means predictable and similar.

Here’s my advice:
1 - set score goals and don’t even waste your time thinking about a 4th test. You will perform better without that option.

2 - Take practice tests exactly like its the real deal. If you can mimic testing conditions, you will get accurate scores.

3 - force yourself to set small goals, eg get perfect at comma errors.
