You mean a full-length PT?

If you ever take more than one PT in a single day, you're not spending nearly enough time going over your work and analyzing your answers.

If anyone could physically do 5 in a 24 hour period, I would come to their house and off them for their own good. Seriously, that would be like 20/24 hours spent doing the LSAT.

The only time I could see doing more than one is what jay said about bombing a morning one. Maybe doing 6 sections at a time to build stamina would work (I never did this, but it probably helps), but 2 full ones in a day is ridiculous.

Anyone who takes more than 1 PT per day is retarded. It merely makes 0 sense...

BTW, Jayzon, your situation is very legitimate. Anything else is plain dumb...

Who uses 5 sections a majority of the time when taking a PT? I tend to just use the 4 sections and don't add in a 5th.

I did a couple PT in a day on two occasions, to work on my speed. Got a 179 <--- not my IQ but hardly retarded.
Good for you. So what exactly does speed have to do with 8 sections of the test?

Even if one wants to work on endurance, I still don't see how taking more than necessary helps to build it. You need to be good to take 5, everything beyond that is redundant.

Whatever, I'm not gonna argue here.

BTW, to take it once or twice (to see how it goes, out of curiosity, whatever) is one thing. To take it constantly because you believe this way you will cram more is another thing.

Yeah... 1 was the most, I may have done 6~7 sections maximum on a day but that was with intervals, breaks & revision time in between. I don't think I ever did 2 fully timed PTs. I mean we only have a certain number of PTs to study from, why waste them when you know you're brain is completely exhausted? (and if your brain isn't completely exhausted after a full PT either you're doing something wrong or you're completely brilliant. If your score is less than 180 it's probably the former)

I took two the day before the test. I started the second one just planning to do the games but after pwning the section I decided to do the whole test, as the games were always the toughest section for me and I wanted to go into the real thing with a high score on the most recent PT to give me confidence (my first score that day had been pretty low). I got a 172 on that second PT and a 171 on the real deal.
