Advice on test-taking

[Steve Stein]

Thanks Steve,

All your advice really helps, how about when we do LR hw problems and get fatigued after 10 of them?

Thanks

Good points above--thanks! Let me add some thoughts: first, most students tend to do questions in order--on your next set of LR practice questions, try skipping to the ones that look most doable. If you do the ones that you are best at first, you will be warming up as you're knocking down the easier ones. It's also much less tiring to do questions that you are comfortable with, so that might help with fatigue as well.

I would also echo a point made above--this test requires endurance, which can be developed. This test can certainly be tiring, but note how much time it takes you to start feeling really fatigued--15 minutes? 20 minutes? Whatever it is, with practice you should start to see that number increase as you continue to develop your mental endurance, and your familiarity and comfort with the test.

I hope that's helpful! Let me know, and keep us posted on your progress!
