Hey guys,
So final tips for test takers, the day before the exam? Any comments are helpful?, eg: shower before the night of the exam, etc.
Thanks!

in ur specific case (i'm guessing u write tomorrow) I WOULD NOT look in the thread for today's MCAT. no need to stress urself out over getting a potentially insane test just bc today's test might've been hard. In fact, I'd recommend staying off SDN all day 🙂. Good luck, you'll do great

Number one tip: don't do anything weird that you didn't do when you were taking your FLs. For example, if you usually didn't drink coffee before your FLs, don't decide to suddenly drink coffee before the test. Stick to your routine.

Carb load! Eat complex carbs tonight and bring fruit, nuts, and veggie snacks tot he test with you tomorrow. Also chocolate.

You don't want to sugar crash while taking the test and the chocolate makes everyone feel better.

1. Get a good night's sleep - easier said than done, I know, but so incredibly important. I turned in a good hour earlier than usual knowing that my mind would be racing as I lay there in bed.

2. Make sure your ID is correct! - when I took the test, a kid from Michigan, who had traveled all the way to NYC, was turned away because his ID had his middle name on it, while his AAMC registration didn't. Not much you can do about it the night before, but at least you could try to find an alternate ID / reschedule before traveling.

3. I'm a last minute crammer, so I can't say "don't study, just relax!" but if that's your thing, then by all means.

4. Don't panic, it'll be fine, and you'll kick butt! 🙂

-Get off SDN because you will panic more
-Treat it like a practice test except pay attention to time because lots have said the real deal is considerably longer
-Pray for a good curve(literally)
-Don't think about anything MCAT related during your breaks. Sing a song if it helps(in your head)

I would agree to make sure you guys get a good night sleep, to pray for a good curve, and walk in their confident and attack the passage well! You guys will do well! 🙂

Confidence is key. Get it in your head that you're about to dominate the MCAT.

Think of it as another practice test, meaning do the same thing you always do.

Bring extra snacks to the test room in case you don't want a certain snack or find yourself hungrier than usual. Better too much food than too little.

Don't drink too much before the test, you'll be distracted from needing to use the restroom.

Good luck! I'm sure you'll kill it

Take a break the day before and on test day stick to your normal routine. Don't go loading up on caffeine or carbs or whatever unless that's what you're used to doing.

After the exam, don't bother with SDN until you get your score. Visiting here will drive you crazy with people freaking out over the test. Just relax after you're done. You've spent the past few months studying, give yourself one month to recoup and have some fun.

Don't try new verbal strategy that you've never practiced before out of desparation... rofl...
