If you take a few practice tests, figure our where your strog/weak areas are, and hone your reading comp, you’ll be fine. I studied for about three months, and although I haven’t gotten my score yet, I was much less nervous on the real test that I was with the practice tests.
Some advice:
Eat a big, hearty breakfeast. Like oatmeal and a smoothie and some home fries. I arrived at 8:00 a.m. and we didn’t get out of there until 3:00 p.m., so I was famished. Also, bring asprin, a bottle of water, and heartburn medicine. There is a specific list of what items are allowed.
I would reccomend bringing a timer. The proctors are suppose to give you a warning when time is almost up for each section, but mine didn’t.
Case out your testing site a week before the test. Even if you don’t know exactly which room it is in, you can get idea for the temerature, what the desks are like, if there are cloks on the wall, how much light there is… if you can, take a couple of practice tests in the same building.
DO NOT think about the test at all for at least 3-4 days before your test date. Work overtime, hang out with family, hit the gym – ANYTHING to get your mind off of it. I wouldn’t reccomend drinking, however (I worked out for two hours a day the entire week before the test, and watched a lot of HGTV)
