"Untimed practice is just as valuable as timed practice"

Untimed practice has its place for learning new concepts, but it doesn't prepare you for the pressure and trade-offs of the real test. Pacing strategy, skip-or-stay decisions, and managing anxiety under time pressure are skills that only develop through timed practice.

The real value of a timed practice test is putting all the elements together in the way that most accurately simulates the actual exam. You should never take a full timed practice test with any intent other than replicating the real situation — it's about building your skill at that performance, not just reviewing content. Untimed work is for learning; timed work is for performing.
