I've done two things the last couple weeks that have reallyyy helped my ADHD and studying. One being removing social media/short form content from my phone - it was just absolutely killing my attention span. I also started reading an interesting novel in the morning and at night. The practice of sitting there and making myself continuously read for a long period of time definitely built up my stamina to read RC/comprehend LR. I would also say practicing boredom in my everyday routine helps SO much. When your brain isn't constantly focused on the next immediate dopamine hit the test becomes a lot more bearable. (All of this has been hard but definitely paid off)
I personally think the adrenaline rush of test day made me forget about half the things I thought would make or break my experience - like snacks, caffeinated bev, what I was wearing, etc. What I feel like made a huge difference was that I really slowed down the day before, cleaned my apartment, got my nails done lol, lit a candle, and got a good night of sleep. That morning I had so much adrenaline the test seriously felt 30 minutes long and I lowk felt like I blacked out after I walked out the testing center. Take a deep breath, BE CONFIDENT!!! (confidence is sooo underrated on test day I swear it can move you several points), and it really isn't as scary as it seems :) You'll probably walk out about be like "oh... that was it? the thing I was so stressed about??"
