Staying engaged and focused is essential to your success.

When you begin solving the first question on the GRE, don’t think about anything else but that question. Don’t worry about the questions that lay ahead, don’t worry about any concepts you couldn’t master, and certainly don’t worry about how other students in the room are doing – just focus – be in the moment – own it; this is your time to shine.

Similarly, as you begin to solve each subsequent question, don’t ever think back to the earlier questions and don’t look forward to the upcoming questions. Don’t think about anything but exactly what you’re working on at that exact second in time.
