I find tests very hard to focus on also. I try to do little tricks during the tests, like if I get through the first two pages of the test, I will "reward" myself by allowing myself to take a little break--I draw a flower on the back of the test, or something like that. Then I do the next two pages of the test, etc.
It's good to not feel so alone on these things. I struggle with the same stuff! Makes me feel stupid sometimes, but I know I'm actually really smart I just have a focus problem from the ADHD
