Is there any particular way to keep your concentration well or to stay focused during the 4 hour marathon?

Basically you need to have a way to keep yourself in the game. You may lose your concentration a little bit, everyone does that is why you need to have methods that keep you on track. The last article can help you with that.

The other articles can help you when you lose your concentration and you need to get it back.


Here are some articles that might help:

Concentration and endurance are very important for the GMAT.
When it comes to the Verbal section, a lack of concentration can cause students to "zone out" while reading lengthy passages, and these students can waste a lot of time rereading the same passage.

If you're interested, we have a free video on the topic of engaging in Verbal passages: https://www.gmatprepnow.com/module/gmat- ... on?id=1123

Cheers,

Hello David,

I gave 1st veritas test today! I scored 590 (Q45 V27). How to prepare further?
I think I've concentration issue. Correct or incorrect answers are in chunks. I don't seem to get it. How to overcome this particular problem?
Also I struggle with time. Are there any pacing techniques ?
