Stress Management System

Plan
The best test takers do less and less as the test approaches. Taper off your study schedule and take it easy on yourself. You want to be relaxed and ready on the day of the test. Give yourself some time off, especially the night before the exam. By that time, if you've prepared well, everything you need to know will be firmly stored in your memory bank.

To reduce the chance of any last minute tension and anxiety, have everything laid out in advance. Most important, know where the test will be administered and map the easiest, quickest way to get there. You will gain great peace of mind if you know that all the little details—gas in the car, directions, etc.—are completely in your control before the day of the test. In addition, experience the test site a few days in advance. Familiarity generates comfort and confidence.

Finally, forego any practice on the day before the test. Try to keep the test out of your consciousness by going to a movie, taking a walk, etc. And most importantly get plenty of rest. It's in your best interest to marshal your physical and psychological resources before the exam.
