Thank you so much for your input. I will try to sleep less, 6 hours or so and watch out for what I eat. I recently bought a Kindle just to improve my reading comprehension. ^^ I am going to read as much as I can whenever and wherever I can. I am trying to read at least for an hour every day. I hope this helps. And keeping a 5 minute gap at the end of each section sounds like a great idea. I will try. Thank you so much all of you for the insight.

Thank you so much for your great comments and advise. I will try to work on my concentration by trying quiet library and doing single 35 minute sections. Thanks again.

Thank you so much for your comment. I will definitely check out the lesson on how to read. I see what you mean by an active reading method.I am taking my PTS in my room, trying to take it by 9 AM as my real test is going to be at 9AM. I am planning to take my PTs in different locations such as library or coffee shop. Generally I sleep for about 6 to 7 hours before my PTs. I hope I can concentrate better.

concentration problem

When I take PTs, I tend to lose concentration after first 2 sections, or sometimes just right after few questions on the 1st section. I found myself keep reading the premise over and over without actually understanding it. Or my mind wonders restlessly. I have never considered myself someone who has a concentration problem, but I do these days. As an international student whose dominant language is not English, I have to focus 100% on the test in order to understand, but these days, I am finding it so hard to do so, and it is extremely frustrating and stressful. Is there any one who is experiencing or experienced same thing or anyone who can help me resolve this? Thank you in advance.
