One tip is to give yourself a task to do while reading - for example, taking notes or making an outline. That way, you'll actually be focused on doing something rather than just passively watching the words go by and your eyes glazing over...

Also, many of my students report that they are more focused on the real test since they tell themselves that "this time is for real".

Good luck!
