How fatigue affected my focus during the Listening section of the PTE Academic

During my PTE Academic test, I noticed that as I progressed into the Listening section, my concentration started to wane significantly. Despite feeling confident in practice tests, the real exam's length and intensity made it harder to maintain focus, especially during longer audio clips. This fatigue led me to miss some details that I would have caught otherwise. I realized that pacing myself and taking brief mental breaks between sections could help manage this better. Has anyone else experienced a drop in focus during the test, and how did you handle it?
