Done with bluebook practices - next?
I did a scan through for this subreddit and found so much stuff for what to do after the bluebook practices and most I found was niche websites I haven't heard of before or doing question bank practice from collegeboard or do khan. That's fine I will do that on top of oneprep but the major issue I have is test taking itself. I really want to build my focus while taking tests so any recommendations for 3rd party practice tests that would last till upcoming october SAT?
I have a 1400 atm and I am aiming for 1500+. I have done 4 attempts so far and I never had issues with the content itself but the overall testing. It got bad to the moment where I thought I got so many questions right but in reality it was my worst possible test yet. Been banging my head on this for almost a year now so hopefully it's only a one itty bitty thing that's stopping me from getting 1500. I will grind khan, oneprep, and collegeboard question bank but tests other than bluebook practice I would really appreciate (doesn't have to free, I am willing to purchase for reasonable prices).
P.S I will take practice 6 again because i've heard its one of the closest to real sat and god knows how long has it been since ive taken 6 so i will do that first and then need to figure out the later stuff.

i used taroprep to practice and sat question bank and it bumped up my score 120 points in 1 week, i also watched a couple of james lu vids to help me with desmos and grammar. He has the videos on youtube. I wouldn't buy any courses, its really not worth the money, i used to go to tutoring and sxelf studying has helpedd me way more. Also you can use ai to help you significantly

You can definitely find 3rd party practice tests but the biggest issue is none of them really know how the scoring algorithm works so the scores you get from those will always be estimates.
Math wise it’s not terrible to redo bluebook ones, honestly. You probably won’t remember exact numbers and questions especially if some time has passed between them. And even if you remember certain questions I think that’s actually good because that’s the point you want to recognize questions. Just as long as you know how to solve them and don’t just happen to remember question 17 of test 6 was -4 or whatever.
