TEAs is Saturday - HELP ME

First off, you want to take a second to stop panicking and let go of the worrying for at least now. Panicking isn't going to help. In fact, it'll make it worse. I know I make more mistakes and click clearly wrong answers when I'm frustrated or panicking about failing. It also makes it harder for you to think of good solutions. Try to get to the point that you know you've put a lot of effort in this, you've prepared how you could, and what comes out of it comes out of it. Worry isn't going to affect the outcome except to make it worse.

Now, you can try to look at your practice tests to see if there are small areas you need to review. Have you missed a lot of questions on the respiratory system? Perhaps watch a video or two on an overview of the respiratory system. Don't go too overboard though because trying to cram too much in less than a day may backfire.

Make sure you are a familiar with science prefixes and suffixes. That way, if you see something that starts with my- or myo-, you could deduce it has something to do with muscles. Even knowing things like -blast, -clast, -ase, etc, can help.

Make sure you review the endocrine system. I've seen most people mention that they had at least a couple of questions on the endocrine system, even when the other systems they had a lot were different from what was prevalent on my exam. Know specific hormones, what they do, and where they are secreted from.

Also, use the practice exams as a way to test your knowledge, but know that the actual exam could be different. I think I got like in the 80's on my practice exams from the Mometrix study guide, and I ended up getting in the 90s on the actual exam.
