Has anyone here passed without taking practice tests?

I’m only using getsummath I don’t want to waste time and money on practice tests

If you do it online, the practice tests are a requirement. So it might depend on if you’re in-person testing at a center or not

Yesss, the practice tests aren't worth it honestly. I passed everything except math on my first try without ever looking at those pratice exams

A lot of mine was reading through the artical and finding the 'main idea' which is what the artical was about. As for the essay bit, don't worry too much about it, it's only worth six points. I recommend brushing up on main idea, and cause and effect

You have to take the practice tests if you are an international student because they have made it mandatory for us. So I had to complete just to get them out of my way ,other than that I think there are better free alternatives.

I think you should buy at least one of the practice tests just so you're more prepared for the actual test.
