How do you deal with the tiredness during OAT? I took practice exams online; my eyes got hurt and my shoulders were tensed. How do I stay fresh and have active mind to solve problems?
 
Trust me. You will NOT get tired 😉! I was in the same boat as you. The night before the exam you are going to be so anxious that you will wonder where the time gone come the day of the Exam!
 
Make sure to get a full night of rest before! Also, when they give you a break during the test. TAKE THE BREAK!!!! Walk outside, do NOT think about the test and don't forget to breathe (your brain needs all the oxygen it can get!!)

Also, during the real test, I actually don't remember getting tired at all because I had adrenaline pumping through me the entire 3/4 hours of it.

If you're still worried, I would just do more practice tests to increase your endurance 👍
