My focus was a lot better this time. I shut myself in my room and played classical music through my airpods to drown out the surround noises. I noticed once I got about 20 questions in that I had not been thinking about anything else while answering the questions. I think my mind is my own worst enemy especially when it comes to staying focused and not overthinking. This will definitely be by biggest challenge going into the NCLEX. For next time I would still like to spend more time on each question. I am really finding it hard to balance between taking enough time but not overthinking. I think I would benefit from setting a timer for each question although that would bring other distractions, I think I really need to realize how much time I really do have. My next strategy would be to just do some practice questions and set a timer so I get a feel for how long 60 seconds really is when answering a question.
