If you're preparing for the GMAT, so that you can apply in the first round, you need a lot of focus. And if you're facing a problem like this guy, then you need to read what I have to say.
Its very normal to go through what you're going through. We're surrounded by distractions. So you need to put away your phone, shut down your mail clients, stop any notifications from distracting you and isolate yourself for a few minutes or hours that you practice.
There are 2 other reasons for losing focus:
1. Stamina: You just aren't used to taking long tests or have lost touch with academic preparation. This is an easy one to solve, since all you need to do is will yourself to sit for 4-4 hours of practice tests while giving the test all of your focus. Practice sitting for that many hours while keeping your mind engaged.
2. Psychology of Sabotage: Psychologically, your mind is not yet ready to take the big leap. It wants to sabotage your chances. Tony Robbins talks about this a lot. And its a very real thing. If this is a problem that you're facing (and no one but you can tell if you are), then you just need to remind yourself about why the GMAT is important for you. A high GMAT opens doors to opportunities, helps boost your career, and lets you compete with the world and succeed.
So, those are the reasons why you lose focus. And I've also given the solutions.
