How to avoid being zoned out while solving RC back to back if you get four passages straight in exam?

Let me start by saying that while I have seen some people get as many as 3 RC passages back-to-back on the real test, I don't think I've ever heard of anyone getting 4 passages back-to-back. That would be pretty extreme
Here are some pointers to keep it together anyway.
During practice stage:
- Regularly practice multiple RC passages in one sitting to build endurance. Try 5-6 passages at a stretch
- Experiment with mindfulness or brief visualization exercises during practice to improve concentration.
- Reflect on your practice sessions to identify when you start zoning out and adjust your strategy accordingly.
On the test
- Take a few seconds between passages to stretch, take a breath, or refocus without breaking exam rules.
- Avoid over-analyzing. Stick to your planned time per passage to prevent mental fatigue.

I just noticed that you've already taken the GMAT. Did you get 4 passages together by any chance? And are you planning to retake? Coz 685 looks very good.
