Have all you\u2019re the stuff you need ready to go. This could be a thing like laying out your clothes, breakfast, ID cards, etc. Do as much for yourself the night before just in case something happens and you\u2019re running late or something. Just follow the Boy Scout\u2019s motto: be prepared<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Every single testing room I\u2019ve ever heard of was cold<\/strong>. Dress accordingly. Who knows you could end up in the rare hot room so close-toed shoes and light layers seem the best way to go. Also someone suggested using your long sleeve as a better eraser for the dry-erase board because the one they got had seen better days.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Everyone says get a good night\u2019s sleep, that\u2019s a given. But if your test time is early in the morning you should really get into habit for waking up at the same time as test day. Prepare by setting your alarm for test day and using it at least 4 days prior to the real day. <\/em>This can ease some of your concerns you may have about not waking up that morning or missing your alarm(s). Speaking of which, you should probably set two alarms and make them different devices if you can just to be extra safe.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It\u2019s too stressful. The morning of is no time for last minute learning\/cram session but rather light reviewing to wake your brain up. Look over some equations you may have trouble remembering and doing a few problems just to \u2018get you in the mood\u2019. Some students suggested even taking the day before off from studying too and just lightly review to clear your head.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n FYI there\u2019s a tutorial trick out there on the interweb that\u2019s a bit controversial. As you know Prometric testing centers will provide you a small dry-erase board and marker to be used as scratch paper during the test. Some students have reported being able to use the tutorial time before the start of test for jotting down notes and\/or equations for later use so you don\u2019t have to worry about remembering them. Apparently it depends on the specific place you test, some might be very lenient or very strict on what you can and can\u2019t do during the tutorial. Don\u2019t just risk it. ASK a test proctor before you sit down and be sure it\u2019s allowed.<\/strong><\/em> Realize you run the risk of being reported and not allowed to test before you even get past the tutorial!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is marathon exam and even if you think you\u2019re feeling pretty good after the Reading Comp section take the rest time. Even if it\u2019s just to walk out of the room to \u2018shake it out<\/em>\u2019, you should break up the monotonous screen time your eyes are getting and the seating position your body is in. Popular snack choices for break time seem to be a banana or a candy bar. Plus a quick bite to eat could give your brain a great jolt for the next half of the exam!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n While in front of the mirror washing up on the big day, give yourself a boost of brilliant self-confidence. A smile and an affirmation or two that it\u2019s time for all your hard work to shine. For inspiration see below:Light Layers<\/span><\/h3>\n
