Thank you for your purchase from Mometrix.
We want to get you completely ready for your upcoming test.
We have some test day reminders to help you get prepared.
first lets talk about the day before the test, The day before the test you want to SPUR yourself
forward.
And this is special acronym we've developed to help you remember your test.
First you want to get plenty of SLEEP.
make sure you get plenty of sleep the night before your exam.
don't save this night to cramp for the test.
you have been studying all this time before you should this be doing some reviewing of
your material the night before the test and then get plenty of sleep.
Next, Positive Self Talk - you need to be telling yourself how much you've prepared
for this test.
You've worked hard the last several weeks or months to be ready for this exam.
So tonight, focus on telling yourself how much you've prepared ; how confident you are
and how well you feel like you're going to do.
this positive thoughts that you give in yourself the positive things you say to yourself are
going to boost yourself confidence which is really gonna help you tomorrow.
Next, you want to UNWIND - once you've reviewed your material one last time find something
relaxing to do go for a long walk, take a hot bath, read a book whatever is relaxing
for you, find that activity and enjoy it for a little while to let yourself unwind after
all of your test prepartion.
And lastly, plan a REWARD for yourself.
most standardized test dont give you your results right away.
so having a reward plan right after your test gives you something you look forward to.
that same testing day.
So Plan something fun for yourself, this could be a nice dinner out, a movie, buying a new
game, a pedicure, whatever's fun for you, whatever would be a nice reward; plan to let
yourself have that right after the exam.
So the day before the test you want to SPUR yourself forward.
SLEEP, POSITIVE SELF -TALK, UNWIND and plan a REWARD.
Now, let's talk about testing day.
the first things you need to remember is what not to bring and primarily that's going to
be most electronics, that means when you leave your house in the morning most of these items
should stay home.
you can't bring in laptops cameras, ipads or other tablet.
ipod or other mp3 players and you can't bring in cellphones to most standardized testing
facilities you should leave all this at home if possible.
If you're one of this people who feels like they need to have their cellphone in case
there's an emergency.
I will bring it with me but leave it lock to the box inside my car.
that way it's safe and I can access right after my test.
You're not going to be answering the phone call in the middle of this test.
You might as well just leave it outside of the building completely.
So remember don't bring any electronics with you.
Aside from that, On Testing Day You want to REWIND.
last night you were SPUR-ing yourself forward the big day, this morning you want to Rewind
and make sure youre ready.
first you want to REVIEW, now this is the" brief" review.
you know this information,you've been studying it for a long time.
this is a brief review just to get those ideas flowing through your brain that morning.
Next, you want to EXERCISE.
I'm not talking about a 2 hour hard core work out.
I'm talking about 10 to 15 minutes of stretching and light exercising.
This is going to get your blood moving.
once your body is in motion and gaining that blood pumping, it's gonna go to your brain,
your brain is gonna be more alert, your body is more alert and your gonna be ready to Ace
that test.
Next you wanna get WATER AND FOOD.
Now it's important to try to avoid cafeine you don't wanna get all energized and then
have a big cafeine deep at the middle of your test you don't wanna make crashing so make
sure you drink water this morning and food.
food is important, your body needs energy to be able to work, your brain needs energy
to be able to function at its peak performance.
so, eat something small, eat something light, something that has a good amount of energy
in it.
a small bowl of cereal, some yougart and granola on it; either of those would be good.
but you also wanna avoid anything that might make you feel sick.
so dairy isn't your thing you might want to eat some trail mix or maybe a granola bar.
something like its going to give you energy not something so heavy that is gonna make
you feel sick.
you wanna be at your best during this test.
Next, You gonna want your ID.
most testing facilities are going to require a photo ID.
this is because testing administrators don't want your friend to come take the test for
you.
they wanna make sure that you are really you.
so make sure you bring your photo ID with you to the test.
Next, NO Nervous Friends.
Now you may or may not know people that are going to be taking this test at the same time
as you.
you wanna stay away from anybody that is nervous.
anyone that is giving of nervous energy, anyone that is talking about how stress they are,
how nervous they are.
You have come to this test prepared.
you need to make sure their anxiety doesn't psych you out.
so if anyone starts talking to you about being nervous.
politely get away from that person, and remember your positive self talk, encourage yourself;
make sure you remind yourself how prepared you are for this test.
don't surround yourself with any nervous energy.
And Lastly, Don't rush.
You want to give yourself plenty of time when you leave the house that morning to get to
the testing facility.
make sure you allot enough time incase there's traffic.
make sure you allot enough time to find the building to find a room if you have an ID
then.
make sure that you give yourself an extra few minutes for a last minute water and bath
room break.
you don't wanna be thirsty or having to go to the bathroom during the middle of your
test.
So if you arrived paniced and rushed then you are not going to do as well on your test
as you were if you arrive calm and cool and ready.
So don't rush that morning, make sure you have plenty of time to get to the testing
faciltiy and get inside ready and prepared and calm.
Now that your up to testing facility.
let's look out during the test.
DUring the test, You want to be sure of your self.
First, thats going to mean being SLOW AND STEADY.
Most of this test are design to give you plenty of time to answer all of the questions.
so if you go slowly and steadily through your test, you should be able to answer all the
questions without a problem.
You dont' wanna spend too much time on one question, but you don't wanna rush to the
test.
so if youre moving slowly and steadily through you should be just fine.
NExt, make sure you understand all directions.
this means, make sure you read the directions for each section of the test.
read them once, read them twice, read them as many times as you need too, to make sure
you are a 100 percent clear of what they are asking of you.
you don't want to messed up a whole section isle test because you don't need the directions.
So make sure that you understand the directions completely.
And the last two kind that go togehter.
