I think when we're about ~~3-4~~ 5.5 weeks out I'm gonna start doing more than 4 sections in a row, trying to do less than 35 minute sections, and oh yeah, maybe look at a writing sample

FTFY.

Also, wow, I drank some weird coffee about two hours ago & I'm more wired than I thought

Omg haha! I think I saw Jgoods on one of the threads too and wanted to do the same!

Also, what kind of coffee was it? I'm 100% going to take some coffee on the real thing, but haven't a clue what's good and what isn't (unlike pencils, which TLS was helpful for with that insane but mind-blowing thread).

The black kind

Better yet.. Go to your local bar/pub/tavern and get a cup of coffee and ask them to make it Irish

Back a couple months ago when I was PT'ing, I used to feel braindead after the test...Not really feeling tired today, therefore I must've not tried hard enough or have improved.

PrepTests 1–38 Grouped by Type and Arranged by Difficulty; PrepTests 39–70 in Their Entirety
and

PrepTests 1–38 Grouped by Type and Arranged by Difficulty; PrepTests 39–59 in Their Entirety; and PrepTests 60–70 as 5-Section Exams
I don't really get the difference between "In their Entirety" and "5 Section Exams"

My guess is that the former means the standard 4 sections pertaining to that PT. The latter will be Cambridge just adding on an older PT section as the experimental and is essentially providing you with an "experimental" section if you're too lazy to make one yourself.

I've been doing it b/c I hate RC and it's a way to train my brain to do 8 passages in one sitting.

Yeah, probably smart to do RC experimentals if you're like most people. RC just burns me out man. Would hate to have RC as an experimental...even worse, the RC experimental before the real RC.

LOL thank god I didn't respond then. I'm cringing at how awkward that would've been.
