<p>So, when I'm taking the math part of the Sat, my brain sometimes freezes up in the middle of testing. After I finish the practice test, I can work through the problems that I got stuck on easily, without looking at the answers. How do I avoid these mental blocks?</p>
<p>Before the test, do lots of practice. I mean LOTS.</p>
<p>During the test, relax. Do stuff that makes you happy. It also helps to insult the test and praise yourself profusely while you’re taking the test to increase your confidence.</p>
