I wouldn't take the same test over and over again (you'll eventually just memorize the answers.) Take a good-quality test, then review and see how you can work each problem with a faster method than before. Learn whatever shortcuts there are and make sure you can use them effectively. A big part is just experience and getting used to the problems. The biggest thing is putting in time. Eventually your computational skills will become very fast, and you'll be moving onto the fourth column and finishing tests. Also, don't take only easy tests. It's good to take harder tests, because they require you to do more computation and will prepare you for both hard and easy tests.
