Focus and Concentration

by lauyeung » Mon Apr 14, 2008 11:35 am
Hi,

I've been losing my focus and concentration when taking the GMATPrep. I would find myself day dreaming and thinking about work when I'm taking the test!

Does anyone have advice? I've been studying for 6 months, and my test is next week. I need a quick fix! :(

I think you need to kick yourself twice (or how many ever times you need) for treating the tests in this fashion. With 6 months of prep, you should have taken good number of prep tests to develop the endurance required for the test.

With only a week to go, you cannot do much. But you can introspect to bring a change in yourself. If your concepts are good, I would say you should be able to overcome this mental block with less difficulty.

Lets see whether any other member has any tips to offer to you.

I think I've been stressed because of work this past week...

You're right..I probably do need a kick in the butt to get myself started again..

I hope our other members take this as a lesson - studying for the exam for 6 months is tiring and tends to wear you down. Once you start to lose focus, it goes downhill from there...
