Deep breaths!

Are you sure that leaving the MCQs for last is a good idea?

I know that when I tested myself I would find more problem areas. And then I would stay up into the AM hours maniacally studying. And then I would have to consume massive amounts of caffeine the morning of the test.

Caffeine is a diuretic. Three bathroom breaks tend to cut in a bit into testing time.

Focus on your notes and do a practice written communication question or two. Do a couple of easy MCQs the morning of the exam to get yourself into testing mode.

Relax. You got this.

my exam is 8:00 tomorrow morning……any advice on when to call it quits tonight? i know its a dumb question, but i feel like im never going to 100% know everything like the back of my hand..so im never going to say “ok im done, im ready”… and i feel guilty to stop studying…….but at the same time, at some point tonight im going to want to relax my brain, maybe lay in bed and watch some big bang theory or something…..and get to sleep early..

what is everyone elses night before routine?

I try to get 8 hours of sleep the night before. Hasn't always worked out that way. But I know I won't learn anything new in the hours of 12 AM-3 AM the night before the test, and even if I do, I'll be dead tired at the testing site so what good will it do me? Then I have a good breakfast the morning of and one good cup of coffee.

@ihatestudying – hopefully you went (or are going) to bed early! I felt the same way last night, trying to get more and more things covered. Had taken the day off work also and didn't get to everything I wanted to. Went to bed at midnight, got up at 5 and regretted it. By noon I couldn't think anymore and was afraid I would totally bomb the test just because of my lack of sleep. Fortunately I had a bunch of people praying for me and the test went OK (I think), but I learned my lesson!

Good luck tomorrow. You know that test won't have 75% of what you studied on it anyway! lol
