Drive to the test center before your date and become familiar with your surroundings, the staff, become familiar with the headphones that the test center uses
Calculate drive time, add traffic patterns given the day/time, know which route will be best so that you can avoid high traffic routes with potential automobile accidents
Plan your meals and pack a lunch box the day prior. Bottled water and thermos of coffee are helpful
Take rubber ear plugs....test takers exist who create extraneous noise
e.g.
View attachment 235892
Wear light baggy clothing, e.g. cargo shorts, light blouse/ shirt, clogs
Avoid Benzos the night before
Visit the gym the day prior to your test to redirect your stress, get a massage, have sex with your husband/wife, etc
Show up early and do whatever the test center monitors tell you to do....they create a lot of anxiety with their militant frisking, checking of pockets, their metal wand detector, telling you to spread em....it is a wonder they did not do a body cavity search (jking)
Breathe!
it will be over before you know it
The whole ordeal sux. The anxiety and pressure are crushing but there is nothing you can do about it so just play the game. Anxiety and pressure are the enemy, not the material, so conquer the former as best you can, and go from there
