Sleep - This should be a no-brainer but many people stress too much the night before or cram all night. Just go to sleep.
Test taking tip # 7
Stay calm
This is not the time to panic, it’s only an exam and if all fails, try again and prepare better next time. Many students paralyze themselves during the exam but truth is, it’s all in your head, take several deep breaths and take it one question at a time.
Test taking tip # 8
Don’t rush
Many guys who rush through the exam misunderstand directions or don’t catch changes in the directions and fail a simple question. Don’t fall for their traps. Remember to answer the questions you know first, then return to the beginning and work on the rest.
