Making mistakes in themiddle chunk of questions [#permalink]

Guys i've noticed that regardless of the type of mistakes, i tend to make most of them in the middle of my question-set..the frequency of the mistakes, understandably, is higher in the verbal than the quant section.

is there any practical tip you guys can share that helps keep a consistent level of attention and focus throughout the exam?

This deals mainly with remaining focused, maintaining composure and making sure your stamina is maintained for the test.

Take full benefit of your breaks
Have a snack during the break (something that will keep you going, energy bar, banana, etc.)
Have something to drink
etc..

If you search the forum for the word "stamina" you'll find this is a fairly common problem.
