2 PTs back to back

Is there any benefit in doing 2 practice tests in 2 days? I am about to start polishing off AAMC and Kaplan tests but the way my schedule is I can only take them back to back since I have 2 days in the week with a free uninterrupted 4 hour block.

I am wondering if the PT on the second day will be a wasted effort.

I don't think this is a great idea. You are likely to feel burnt out taking them so close together. When is your test date?

When do your classes end and when do you want to begin your practice tests?

I'm out of school but I have heavy work responsibilities. I do have down time at work to study but I can't do any sit down timed sections.

I'm thinking maybe full test day 1 then do 2 practice sections the next day in the areas I did worst on. That might actually be more effective.

I will begin next week doing full tests.

Bad idea to do 2 tests back-to-back. You'll learn much more from simply spending 1 day doing the practice test, then reviewing the test on the other day. Taking two tests back-to-back without studying in between is likely to result in basically the same score, and the same areas of strength and weakness. Meanwhile, you can spend time wisely by doing a test and just going over it and strategically picking apart areas you did well / not so well so you can target what content still needs more review.
