<p>I get tired sometimes when going through all those practice tests and stuff mentally. Is there any advice you can offer to develop more mental stamina and not become tired/sluggish halfway through the test?</p>
<p>p.s. I get enough sleep too</p>
<p>whenever you take the test, always bring a bottle of coke, gatorade, or some other sugary drink, or something to eat. When it's break time (after the Math Section), just drink or eat some to keep yourself awake.</p>
<p>Start off doing the practice tests just section at a time so that you take a break and review each section with the answers. Just make sure to do a couple of whole run throughs (so the entire ACT) before the actual test day. Trust me, if you're tired now, you're going to be even more when you have to take the test and it's 8AM on a Saturday. A sugary drink and food helps.</p>
<p>studying for the Act can be very tiresome if you overdo it. The best thing to do is to is to study only a bit at a time. It's hard for some us to NOT procrastinate but I find that the best way to study for anything is to spread it all out. Schedule it.. maybe a couple of chapters a day</p>
<p>what I did myself was study a certain section (English, for example) a number of days, then at the end of all of it, take only the english section as a final "exam" Repeat for all the other sections. Once you think you're ready go through a whole Timed sitting with all the sections. go over what you think you need to work on, then repeat. It sounds like alot but it really isnt if you spread it out. good luck</p>
<p>Do this-</p>
<p>Lie down flat on the back.
Keep convenient distance between the feet.
Rest the hands a little away from the body, palms facing the sky.
Keep the neck straight.
The whole body should also be straight, but relaxed.
Keep the eyes gently closed.
Relax the body from top to toe - bones, flesh, nerves, arteries,
organs.
Imagine that the entire body is relaxed. This way each and every organ of the body will get relaxed.
With the eye of the mind, go on visualizing every relaxed organ of the body one by one, from the toe to the top (crown of the head).
Reverse the gaze of the mind's eye from the crown to the toe, make a full inspection of the body step by step.
Involve the mind whole-heartedly in this process.</p>
<p>When a practicant attains maturity in Shavasan, by and by make a headway towards the attainment of Pratyahar, (withdrawing the senses from the objects) Dharna, (Concentration) and Dhyan (Meditation).</p>
<p>...or just take enough practice tests you get used to it.</p>
