<p>I want to know what to do one day before the real SAT test? I'm so stressful ...</p>
<p>The day before the SAT you should NOT do any SAT preparation. If you have been preparing correctly, then there is nothing you can learn one day before the test that will improve your score anymore. You should relax as much as possible, do something that is enjoyable for you, some meditation couldn’t hurt, and get a good night sleep.</p>
<p>Thank youu DrSteve I’ll take that in consideration.</p>
<p>Also make sure that you don’t do anything out of the ordinary, i.e. eat greasy or unhealthy food or go run 5 miles. It won’t do you any good if you start throwing up over your test or your legs start to burn…</p>
<p>Contrary to most people, I did do SOME sat stuff the day before, but it wasn’t new questions, I just looked over practice I had done before and specifically at the types of questions that I tend to miss often. I sorta consider that a final review/warm up to get myself ready and relaxed.</p>
<p>Yeah totally do some small practice, won’t hurt. It’s like not warming up the day before a basketball game… Or something.</p>
<p>I went through a bunch of essay examples and made sure I knew them very well. It was very very helpful.</p>

<p>I have no problem with students doing a small amount of review the day before the test as long as it is not stressful to them, and they are not trying to learn new material (but I will always recommend doing nothing the day before the test when asked since I believe this is best for students that experience high levels of test taking anxiety).</p>
<p>I also recommend doing just a few easy problems the morning of the test. This will begin to put your brain into test-taking “state”. Here is a small excerpt from my article on “test-taking anxiety” regarding state:</p>
<p>(5) Learn how to get yourself into test-taking “state”: Think of something that you know you are good at. Maybe it’s a sport, or playing a certain instrument. Think about how you feel when performing this activity. You probably have complete confidence in what you are doing, and performing this activity comes so naturally that you don’t even need to think about it. When you are confident in your ability to perform a certain activity, you can enter the “state” necessary for performing that activity very quickly. If you are not confident in your ability, you may need to “warm-up” a bit before getting into state. Once you are in the appropriate state, anxiety no longer becomes an issue - at this point your performance is determined by your ability alone. “Warm-up” can be accomplished by beginning to physically perform the desired activity. But it can also be done just by thinking about performing the activity. You can use successful past experiences with the activity as reference points for your “warm-up.”</p>
<p>Also, how on earth do I control my pee for ~4 hours? No, seriously. Should I drink less fluid?</p>
<p>You do get breaks between certain sections.</p>
