Here’s the simple answer: you need both (full-length tests and sectional tests), but at different stages. Sectionals help you build strength in individual subjects. They sharpen concepts, improve accuracy, and fix topic-level weaknesses without overwhelming you.
Full-length tests, on the other hand, train you for the real battlefield. They test stamina, time management, question selection, and emotional control under pressure. You learn how to balance sections, not just solve questions.
Early in preparation, focus more on sectionals to build clarity. As the exam approaches, shift towards full-length practice to simulate real conditions. It’s not about choosing one over the other — it’s about using each at the right time.
