7 things to do today if you're taking the SAT tomorrow

<p>[ol]
[li]Print your Admission Ticket. If your printer is going to decide to barf when it prints your ticket, better to find out today while you can still print it somewhere else. Tomorrow morning, that'd be a big deal. Today, not so much. File this one under "duh." (Go here[/url</a>] and sign in to print your ticket).[/li][li]Check your calculator's batteries. True story: my calculator during the first math section when I got my 2400. Turns out long division still works! But seriously, even though I still pwnd that test, it would have been less stressful with my apparently-not-so-trusty TI-83.[/li][li]Set out everything else you'll need for the test. Pencils (like 7 of them, sharpened), eraser, non-beepy wristwatch.[/li][li]Watch The College Board's Test Day Simulator. You don't really need to do this unless you're worried and you think it'll help calm you down. It's super-hokey and boring, but if you want a sneak peak of what the proctor will read to you unenthusiastically tomorrow morning, [url=<a href="http://sat.collegeboard.com/register/sat-test-day-simulator%5Dhere">http://sat.collegeboard.com/register/sat-test-day-simulator]here</a> you go.[/li][li]Watch a movie or something. Seriously, take your mind off the SAT for a bit. You've been sedulous in your preparation for months. Nothing you can do today is going to drastically change anything, and you want to walk in there tomorrow placid and well-rested, not panicked and enervated.[/li][li]Set your alarm. Yes, really. A lot of folks use cell phone alarms these days, and sometimes those are set only to go off Monday through Friday. Make sure your alarm is going to wake you up tomorrow.[/li][li]Before bed, walk through your vocab words one more time. You know them all. This is a security blanket action to help you sleep, not hard work. Just remind yourself how much you've learned. Now, take a deep breath. I think your pillow wants to tell you a secret.[/li][/ol]</p>

<p>Good luck everybody!</p>

<p>Thanks for the reminders and advice!</p>

<p>Thanks and good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice and good luck :slight_smile:
Does anyone here actually use a wristwatch? I would but I am concerned that it may slow me down and make me lose concentration because I’ll constantly feel the need to look at how much time is left…</p>

<p>Take three pencils so you have two fresh pencils after you finish writing the essay. You need to take #2 pencils (especailly for the essay), mechanical pencils are not allowed.</p>

<p>Also take a snack with some protein in it and plenty of water for the breaks.</p>

<p>I disagree with the notion not to study the night before. Right now im going to take a practice SAT + go over direct hits+ go over grammar rules.</p>

<p>To each his or her own, NeedsHelp. :)</p>

<p>I only have a watch that beeps every hour. Is that going to be a problem?</p>

<p>There’s gotta be a way to turn that beeping off. If there isn’t, can you borrow a silent watch from a friend or family member?</p>

<p>Get a GOOD nites sleep and have a REALLY big, hi protein breakfast! It will be at least 4+ hrs before you can have your next meal, so make sure you are well fed before you leave home AND take a coke/ drink and quick snack that you can inhale quickly during the extremely short B room breaks. My son was STARVED by the time he was done[ he had had a snack and a coke to keep going] and he told me his energy level had take a a serious nose dive in the last hour of the test. So a word to the wise- Take the time to Fuel your brain tomorrow to get the best results!</p>
