-
Be calm, relaxed and confident!
-
Bring an extra sweatshirt or jacket: the exam center might be cold and it’d be a bummer if all your studying went to waste because you were shivering and couldn’t focus on the exam.
-
Eat brain foods the night before and morning of your exam. You should also try to avoid alcohol and sugary drinks the days leading up to your exam.
-
Do a light workout or meditate the day before your exam – something to clear your mind.
-
Drive to the testing center the day before your exam so you know if there’s any construction or confusing turns or parking restrictions, etc.
-
If you wear contacts, pack your glasses just in case.
-
Go over formulas and important notes.
-
Pack everything you are going to need for the exam the night before instead of the morning of.
-
Keep the big picture in mind.
