It's the day before the test. Cramming is a bad idea. But there are some powerful last-minute things you can do.

1. Review Your 'Mistake Zoo.' Look at the study guide of your most common errors. Remind yourself what not to do.

2. Re-read Your 'Master Formula Sheet.' Don't do problems. Just calmly read through the formulas and properties one last time.

3. Get Your Supplies Ready. Pack your bag with your calculator (with fresh batteries!), pencils, and an eraser. Reduce tomorrow's stress.

4. Light Physical Activity. Go for a walk or a light jog. It can help reduce anxiety and improve brain function.

5. Stop Studying at Least 2 Hours Before Bed. Your brain needs time to relax and shift gears.

6. Get a Full Night's Sleep. This is the single most important thing you can do. A tired brain cannot do algebra.

7. Eat a Good Breakfast. Your brain needs fuel. Avoid sugary foods that will lead to a crash.

8. On the way to the test, listen to music that makes you feel confident and powerful.

You have done the work. The hay is in the barn. Walk in with calm confidence. You are ready.
