<p>Some cheesy motivational phrases never hurt. Also just tell yourself you’ll be fine.</p>

Perhaps even more important is that you “pack” these motivational phrases into your head the days before the test:
[ul]
[<em>]It’s just a big, fun puzzle to be solved.
[</em>]The answers are right in front of you; you just have to find them
[<em>]You have been trained to do this, and are as experienced as anyone.
[</em>]If things get bad, stay calm and remember to keep your wits.
[<em>]Don’t think of it as going backwards from 2400; you’re going forwards from 600.
[</em>]No miracles needed. Just do what you know you can.
[li]You’ve done this 20 times before, so it’s nothing new.[/ul][/li]These things can help pull you through during difficult times, even if they may not all be entirely true.</p>

<p>On the day of the test, be sure to get up early with plenty of time to spare. Don’t try cramming the night before, and make sure to get enough rest. Eat a full breakfast, but don’t drink too many liquids; you won’t want to have to go in the middle of the test. Also, make sure not to eat anything that might upset your stomach later.
