Take one or two short breaks during the test to reduce and prevent mental fatigue.
The very nature of a test situation creates emotional and mental stress. You are
under the gun and want to do well. It is normal to feel fatigued or spent even
though the test session is only 45 minutes or so in duration. If you start to
feel mentally fatigued, you are likely to become careless or experience cloudy
thinking. Your performance and test score may suffer.
To overcome this, take a moment to close your eyes, put down your pencil, and
stretch in your seat for 10 or 15 seconds. Do this once every 15 minutes or so.
It is amazing how well this works in refreshing your mental batteries.
