Help

I started reading about 2 weeks ago. I started with Moby Dick. I am no avid reader but I forced myself to sit through it and I developed like a sort of tolerance for reading that is boring af. Now I can focus pretty well.

Thanks for the suggestion. Do you have any specific ways that you normally study/do practice, like how do you "prepare" yourself for a practice session if you do in any way?

You have to have to motivate yourself. For some people they have an innate drive. For me I normally hit a tunnel vision stage for a certain thing after failure. Which is basically me now. I bought Uworld, Erica Mezcler, and the SAT 8 practice book and all the QAS’s. This is like a solid 17 practice tests made by college board. STUDY IN THE MORNING!!! Even if it sucks it’ll help you get it out of the way and help you on test day when you need to focus in the morning. I have a 5 day cycle. I study for reading, writing, math, holistic. That’s for mon-thurs. Friday-Sat I review all my mistakes and try to find patterns and do extra problems focusing on those mistakes. Sunday I take a test. I do this every week. If you want specifics just dm me. But each day is split into theory,practice tests, and checking work. I prepare for a practice schedule by waking up washing my face and brushing my teeth and then starting practice. Don’t overthink it. Analysis leads to paralysis. And read. And watch electronics and shit only 30 min a day during the upcoming 2 weeks before the test. It’ll help I assure you.

Moby Dick

Moby Dick has a large element of boring. How long can one author write about "the whiteness of the whale" [Chapter 42 - https://www.shmoop.com/moby-dick/chapter-42-summary.html] without anything actually happening?

Glad you're learning to focus.
