Tips for Taking the Test: Part Five

The Morning Of Edition

• Wake up early enough that you're not late for school.
• Eat a healthy breakfast. 
• Go through your normal morning routine. Brush your teeth, comb your hair, wash your face, etc. 
• Try to keep the morning as stress-free as possible. If that means waking up five minutes early to avoid rushing around trying to get ready, do it. 
• When you get to school, try to avoid panicking. Take deep breaths and do some chair exercises. 
• Eat your snack before the test if your teacher lets you. 
• Stay hydrated with a water bottle if your teacher lets you.
• During the test, stay focused. 
• Try to do your best. No matter what anyone else tells you, your best is all you can do. 
• Don't panic if you find yourself coming across a question you have no idea how to answer. Go back to the passage and try to find the answer, but try not to spend too much time on one question. Skip the question if you need to, and remember to leave a space on your answer document for it. Go back to it at the end, and if you need to, eliminate one or two answer choices then make an educated guess. 
• Don't worry; you'll do fine. :)
