Depending on how soon your test is, you may not have enough time to see a difference, but nonetheless, it's a good idea. There are also dozens of meditation apps you can download. Just try searching for "meditations for beginners" or "meditations for students" or "meditations for focus". If trying to relax while listening to your math teacher isn't your thing, you can find tons of other meditations on YouTube.

You can find them by searching for "Khan Academy meditations". Sal Khan has actually made a few meditation videos for complete beginners on YouTube. I meditated for about 10 minutes every day for the week or so leading up to my AP exams and some of my SAT exams. Meditation helps people stay focused on one thing for longer and stay calm under pressure.

My third idea may sound a bit weird, but it's to try meditation. Don't feel like you need to convince yourself that the passage content is your new favorite topic. It can be pretty difficult to be interested in some of the reading passages. If you get mentally engaged in what you're reading, you'll be less likely to zone out and more likely to comprehend what you're reading. Since you were interested in it already, the learning came naturally.

Think about it, have you ever had to study to learn the lyrics to your favorite song? Probably not. Instead of saying to themself "I'm reading this so I can answer the questions and get a good score", they'd try and be engaged about learning something new. I had a friend tell me it helped them to try and be interested in the content of the passage. This meant I zoned out less and was able to answer the questions quicker. This may seem counterproductive for managing time, but when I read a bit slower, I understood the passage better. I found it helpful to slow down just a bit while reading. I've had this issue a lot too! Here are some things that might help.
