anxiety when timing myself

Does anybody else get super anxious when they try to time their PTs? I find it super distracting and my mind keeps thinking about the time rather than the question i'm reading.

    yes I am the same way!! before taking a timed PT I do some light stretching / yoga to help ease my mind and get my body actually ready to sit for a few hours. This usually helps me and if I am still feeling anxious during the test I just take one minute or so to refocus. even though you do lose a bit a time i feel like its helpful overall if you can calm your nerves for the remainder of the test.

    Yoga with Adrienne on youtube is really great she has tons of videos for anything you could want. Stay strong you got this!!!!

    It will happen regardless, but you can alleviate this by practicing timed sections only for sometime before moving on to doing timed practice tests.
