does anyone have any tips for staying focusing while taking prep tests? I thought about listening to focus music or white noise, but would that make taking the real test more difficult since you cant listen to anything? Lmk any tips you guys use to have full attention while taking PT's, it would be much appreciated.

LOVE some classical - highly recommend Yo-Yo-Ma
I like to either put on the background noise available on here (specifically the university one) or I use a game on steam called virtual cottage for some lofi. That one also has a built in timer so it's good for tracking how long you've been studying.
I would really try to not listen to any music just since you will not have it for the real thing. Sometimes if my roommates are being loud I will put on headphones while I test so I can block their noises out but I will only have white background music playing.
When I PT, I listen to the same two songs in the background (Isimo and MCPDC by the Bleachers, if you're curious), but I also typically end up pausing it for long stretches and do my best to operate with just natural background noise. I plan on going to the library a lot in July when I PT to mimic the environment better, though.
When I drill I listen to lofi music but during practice exams I try to not because on the real exam you can't do that!
