In the middle of a PT, my daughters came home earlier than expected from school and went to the echo chamber from hell - their bathroom - to rehearse for high school musical auditions. Shoot me under normal circumstances just listening to the start-stop off-key song prep, I got thru the PT but decided Starbucks would be less distracting... As recommended by the mentors, try all different types of environments. "Active" reading strategies as discussed by @ngir1293288.janson35 and @kennedybj959 during the interactive workshops had really good advice to stay engaged. Hopefully there will be more in the future! BR calls are another way to hear casual discussions about how to keep engaged. Meditation is highly recommended!
@974 I've done an entire RC section with my finger in a baby's mouth and it was no big deal and I scored better than my average. I've done full PTs with a baby strapped to my chest so people tapping pencils is a joke.
I go the opposite route. Give yourself a lot of distractions or at least a few so you won't be caught off guard on test day.

@kennedybj959 you know what you're right. I think i'm just being lazy and taking the easy way. Actually going somewhere else besides work and home to study is probably best.
I go to the library and find a dungeon-like room and leave all electronics in the car.

This has been the biggest deal breaker for me when it comes to concentration issues.
meditate beforehand - @jimmy2004457 included a meditation recording in the course.
Get adequate sleep
If you find yourself daydreaming remind yourself "am I giving it my all?
I would intentionally expose myself to distractions during the practice tests. Also, meditation has worked wonders for me in this area.
NZT!!!!!!!!!!!!
You may be want to be around a noisy clock. I've heard they can be distracting..
