When testing for calcium hardness, do I go for the # of drops when the color starts to change or do I go for the # when color is completely changed? Hope I’m making sense

Color completely changed, do not count drops that did not completely change the color
ie it took 7 drops to blue and the 8th didn't do anything, do it's 7 drops
ie it took 7 drops to blue and the 8th didn't do anything, do it's 7 drops
As cf alluded to, continue adding until your last drop produces no further change in color, and then subtract that drop

I highly suggest using a speedstir for the CH test. When I started using it I found the manual stir method was significantly inaccurate.
I've found that i can over- drop on the TA test pretty easily without it too
