PTing with two experimental sections? Forum

[carasrook]

Just wondering what the general advice would be for taking PTs with two experimental sections. I've read that this is effective because it makes test day feel like a piece of cake, but that's also a lot of extra time/effort during training that I don't want to use if it won't help me significantly.

Has anyone tried this? Think it's worth it?

I didn't do two experimentals, but I did do two tests back to back a few times in the 2 weeks before my exam, and I definitely think it was valuable. It sucked, but it made the test itself a piece of cake by comparison. Train for a 10k by running a marathon, and all that good stuff.

So, I think that the general idea is at least sound. Individual user results may vary.

Seems like overkill to me.

This worked exceptionally well for me. I went from 161 diagnostic to 174 on test day.
Test day felt like a breeze, just another day.
