Dealing with exam fatigue during long IT certification tests
I have an advanced cybersecurity exam coming up that is scheduled to last nearly three hours with no breaks. My issue is that after about an hour of analyzing complex network logs and scenario prompts, my eyes glaze over and I start rushing. How do you guys maintain your focus through long exams?

Exam stamina is a huge factor that a lot of people forget to train for. Rushing through options because of brain fog is how most people lose easy points on technical exams. The best way to combat this is to treat your prep like a physical workout. I used to log onto https://www.simplytests.com/exams/it-and-cybersecurity and intentionally set up full-length, timed practice exam blocks. Doing this regularly trains your brain to pace itself properly and teaches you how to maintain your analytical focus even when you are reaching the final, heavy stretch of the test.
