THINGS TO DO ON TEST DAY

Get up early.
If you are used to eating breakfast, eat something light and nutritious and high in glucose and protein (cereal/milk, fruit, orange juice, toast, eggs), to keep you alert throughout the examination. If you usually skip breakfast, do so on the examination day.
Dress comfortably in clothes you have worn before (jeans, shirt, blouse, and sweater).
Wear clothes that can be shed or added on.
Leave home in plenty of time to arrive at the test site early.
Women need to be prepared for early, irregular, and unanticipated onset of menses on exam day, a time of stress.
To reduce tension and anxiety, try breathing and muscle relaxation techniques.
Using hard candy or gum, if not distracting, may relieve discomfort of dry mouth related to state of anxiety.
Bring tissue, cough drops, eyeglasses, watch.
Use restroom and get water before entering testing room.
If you don not understand the directions, ask questions.
Ask for a seat exchange if something distracts you.
RELAX AND STAY ALERT.
