BR: day of or day after? Forum

[RamTitan]

Question - Should one blind review the same day they take a practice test, or the day after taking one? I can see pros and cons for both (reasoning is still fresh on the day of, but you may remember the problem too well as well, etc.)

I do it the day after because my brain is too exhausted after a PT.

It depends. I usually BR 1 (2 at max) sections the same day that I take the test but with a long break in between. You can split it up like that or just do it all the following day. I feel like having the same reasoning in your head for questions the same day you take the test and BR doesn't harm you in any way. When I first started to BR, I wouldn't circle any questions that I was iffy on, I would just go through the entirety of each section. But now, I just BR questions that I circle and leave the ones that I'm most confident about alone. It's much faster to BR only certain questions so you may be able to get more BR done unless you go through each and every question like I did when I first started.

So try some different ways out and see what fits right with you in when/how you should BR.

I'm definitely a day after kind of guy. It's soon enough I can reconstruct my thought process but late enough I'm free to re-think problems and see them in a new light. This is especially true of late since most of my practice tests I try to do in the PM since the June administration is in the PM as well.
