Have you just been getting checked out, or doing training in the aircraft??

That is a little different than flying from point A to point B. As merit said, once in cruise and airspeed is up, close them. I usually wait a minute or two after leveling off, but unless it is super hot, which you should then climb higher to use the AC properly, then I close them and just keep an eye on the oil temp and CHT. If it starts to get hotter than normal, open then up.
