I though this might be a good post on what ya'll did and do on test day.
For me, I always took the test in the afternoon, that way I could oversleep and not feel stressed. I had time to workout, study some, get food in me and a few redbulls. Before I got to the test center I downed a couple of aspirin.
Once I goto my station I wrote RTP across the top of my scratch paper really big. Means read the problem. #1 reason people miss questions, me included. We study so many practice questions that we think we know what the question is asking us and then on the exam it's close to the same sitsuation, but a small difference. Of course you have your token answer, which of course is wrong. I never took a break during the exam, but gave myself like 2 or 3 minutes of closing my eyes and relaxing before I closed out a section. More than once an answer popped in my head and I was like duh, and went back to a flagged question and selected the correct one. Also on the SIMS, I would always do the research question and essay first to maximize points. That way I would nail those points and try to scrape up some on the other tabs. I heard too many people never complete the give away point becuase they were stressed and confused on a tab or two.
What else have or do you guys do. Considering it took months of studying to get to test day, it seems that it IS the most important day to plan.
