Tips for Taking the Test: Part Four

The Night Before Edition

• Get a good night's sleep. 
• Eat a healthy dinner.
• Relax with your favorite book or TV show. 
• Don't overexert yourself.
• Don't study. You might feel compelled to do one last practice test, but it won't help. All of your education thus far has been preparing you to take this test. There is nothing new you can learn to help you take the test tomorrow. There is nothing that you don't already know that will help you. 
• Don't strain your eyes. Don't spend too much time at the computer or playing video games or watching TV. Don't read a book with very small print font. Don't squint at things. You want your eyes to be fresh for tomorrow. 
• Try not to strain your muscles. Skip the exercise routine for today. 
• Prepare everything the night before. Prepare your pencils and snacks. Get your bookbag ready for tomorrow morning. 
• Relax. You're going to do fine. Check out these tips for relaxation if you start freaking out: http://www.webmd.com/balance/guide/blissing-out-10-relaxation-techniques-reduce-stress-spot
