Don't stress out. :) I have learned that when you stress out, hormones come into action and you may not do as well because of that anxiety. Try meditating, breathing exercises, etc.

Don't freak out if it seems like you're unsure of many answers. Just do your best to work quickly through the problems but be careful at the same time. I found it easier to answer all the ones I can first and make educated guesses on the ones I was unsure of. Then I go back to the questionable ones and try to look at it again if I have time at the end. Don't waste too much time with the questions that stump you--you may be using up valuable time that could have helped you get the questions that you know correctly answered. Pace yourself and watch the clock. Bring a watch with you. Good luck!!

my spanish teacher used to give us chocolate before our exams because she said that caffeine had been proven to sharpen your short term memory. whether it's was the placebo effect taking place or not, it's always worked for me before a big test :) personally, i went for a double shot for all of my h.s. AP tests as well as SAT and ACT . i did very well on all of them too. i'm a heavy caffeine drinker though (gave it up for lent ) so i would not recommend a double shot for everyone hehe and get lots of sleep! take nyquil if you have to lol
and most importantly: GOOD LUCK!!!
