How Many Practice Tests Do You Need for a 170?

Scoring a 170+ requires two things:

1. Strong fundamentals

2. Lots of full-length practice tests

Once you understand:

• conditional logic

• parts of an argument

• question types

• common flaws

…it’s time to transition from drills to full PTs.

Why Full Tests Matter

They build:

• endurance

• timing discipline

• section-to-section focus

• resilience

No amount of drilling replaces the pressure of a real test environment.

How Many To Take

For students aiming for a 170:

• 20–25 full PTs is typical

• Some students do 30–40

• The key is not the number; it’s the quality of review
