I find it very helpful to use the same ambient light every time you test. If you go to a room that has good (Bright) ambient light you will see it is easier to read and become comfortable reading the test.
Also it is very important to take the reading fast. As you eyes and brain adjust to the test your brain will actually start tricking your eyes so you never see or allways see through the solution

When I test with it I just use this mathematical logic:

If I dont see the color, im good!
If I see some color, im need to dose!

Seems to work great lol.

Thats exactly what I've been doing. Since switching to RBS I've hardly had to use the test at all, which is even better
