This might sound silly but hear me out: Eat a popsicle. If it's small enough, you can eat the whole thing in 10 minutes. The cold brings me back to life and eating the popsicle distracts my mind from whatever just happened. My personal choice is chocolate. If you have a couple of minutes to spare towards the end of the break, I also recommend 5 deep breaths while stretching your neck. But the popsicle is the star.
Even though it does sound a little silly, I think it's absolutely brilliant! Can I ask where the popsicle technique came from?
My goal for this thread was to figure out a way I could take my mind off of the test quickly with as little mental energy spent in doing so, and eating a popsicle, (chocolate nonetheless) seems like a surefire way to do this!
TBH I am actually stoked to try this!
Is there a technique you all use to help reset your brains after you get done doing the first two sections?
I’ve noticed my second LR section score is always almost lower than my first section because I start feeling burned out. Does anyone have a solid technique that helps them reset mentally during the midway break?
Interested
Ugh my issue with these timed questions is that I get so comfortable knowing that every question type falls into a set category(strengthen, weaken, etc.) and I forget to read the question stem fully. I seriously need to break this bad habit.
