The night before, I actually had a nightmare about forgetting my calculator at home on the day of the test. Honestly though, let this just be an entry of tips.
-Triple Check your bag the day before and the day of. Snacks? Books? Calculator? Water? Sketch book? Pencils, erasers, led??? Everything you need, keep it stowed in some sort of drawstring bag.
-Do NOT read all of the Data in the science section. DONT. By the time you get there, you're already fried. Read the promt that tells you what the data is about, and then read questions. Look for answers in the data, cus you aint gonna remember all of that nonesense.
-Dont read ALL of the questions before reading in the reading section. You're trying to remember too much. Just pick out a few critical thinking questions to let you think while reading.
-SAVE ALL OF YOUR BRAINPOWER FOR MATH!!
-In the last few minutes of the math questions, mark all of the remaining unanswered questions either A or B. Then go through and find the easiest to answer, then go to the harder ones.
-EAT A FUCKING BREAKFAST.
-Pay attention to your English/Writing teachers when they teach you about how to write well in the writing part. I was taught some sort of triangle thing. Ask them bout that.
-Finally, do NOT stress. LITERALLY thisvis the least important quality colleges look at. They look at school participation and growth rather than just one score. Yes, the more uptight schools might be too good for you, but fuck them. Stay calm, stay cool, and you will be ok.
Keep Smiling.
-Sharpie!
