What to do about Experimental Sections on PT's

As we get closer to the Dec test, I'm trying to more accurately simulate actual test conditions (taking it at the right time of day etc.).

I'm wondering, how do you all handle the absence of the experimental sections on PT's? Do you make your own experimental sections from drills and prior tests, or do you just skip the 15 minute break period and take 4 section test? Is there one method you found more helpful?

Make or obtain five-section PTs.

Thanks for the reply. Are five section tests sold anywhere? All the PT's I've bought so far have been 4 sections + the essay. I don't mind making my own out of drills, etc. I'm just wondering.

I take a section from another PT and add it as an experimental section

The above two suggestions are the way to go ^

You also could find five sections PTs online if you poke around a bit.

Best,

Cambridge has 5-section PTs. An advantage of theirs is that there isn't a way, necessarily, to tell that a section is experimental in a way you probably could if you made your own.
They also have 6-section ones, but you don't need to go that far.
