Eye Strain and Practicing for the DAT

So is anyone having this problem? I have seriously bad vision to start with. I got the Crack DAT PAT 10 test version and have been practicing. Got 20 on the first test, and 21 on the second test. Hopefully 22+ for the rest of the tests until test day. I just hope I don't go blind by the time I finish the other 8 tests.

But man, this is straining my eyes out badly. Anybody got a good eye massage method or something? OH, and I realized something, looking at colors and focusing on something in the distance ie outside your window or something for a few seconds helps you gain your focus back really quick and really does wonders for the angle ranking section.

^Totally! I'm pretty blind myself without contacts/glasses. But good job on the 20+ on PAT!!! That is awesome :3


Ahhh my poor eyes (X_X)

just don't do them all in a row and u should be fine, space them out a bit. on a plus side, at least practicing with all of it will help u stay more focused on the actual test and not be as strainful during on test day.

👍👍👍 i just tried this tonight and saw the effects of awesomeness!! it actually is helpful for all the sections i think, even for TFE. i think it lets u see something in case u missed it before looking away

Yea, focusing on something far in the distance (at 'infinity') relaxes your ciliary muscles (those in your eyes) and relaxes them.
Use it anytime your eyes start straining, just look out a window at something far away!
