SAT is not just a test of your reasoning ability but a test of your stamina. To know your exact level of preparation, you will have to take the full-length tests SAT practice tests in their entirety and in one go, without skipping any section or taking breaks. Also, adhere to the time limit of each individual module.
Remember that when it comes to taking full-length tests, it’s the quality that matters, not the quantity.
The ideal routine should be to take one test on one day and spend the next two days analyzing your performance in the test and taking remedial action. If your performance in any section is below par, then take the next two days to revise the techniques involved in that section. Do not start the next full-length test unless you have revised the material in which you did not do well in the previous full-length test. Also, take the full-length tests in the same time slot as your actual SAT exam. This will train your brain to become more efficient and alert on the SAT exam day.
