Testing Tips

So I'm sitting here at 1:37 am, trying to contemplate how to calculate the orbital velocity of an asteroid around the sun, and I want a break, so I'll just write this.
AP exams and SATs are around the corner, and with all the home work, practice tests and projects, students are swamped! In these challenging times, here are a few ways to help you succeed -

1. Start early. Don't start preparing a few days before the exam. Not only will you be panicked at that time, and hence more likely to forget what you read, you will also not be able to cover the immense syllabus of the course. Like the Scouts say, "Be Prepared!" 
2. Stay healthy! It's easy to overlook your health in times like this, but be sure to stay hydrated(there's a discount on vitamin water at Ralphs :P) and munch on fruits and veggies. Avoid too much caffeine as it can be harmful, and get a few hours of sleep daily.
3. Study in groups. Meet up with friends once a week and study together. That way you can help each other with problems, and discuss new strategies to approach the coursework. But be sure you are studying! It's not cool to end up discussing Drake's latest album instead of finishing that home work.
4. Ask questions! You teachers understand that you're nervous, and since testing is so close, make sure to clear any doubts and have questions answered well in time. Find out your teacher's office hours and drop by with questions, if you have any. Who knows, they might be impressed at your efforts and give you a better grade ;)
5. Stay calm. This isn't the end of the world. If you do well on your tests, great! If you don't even better! Always remember, academic success doesn't always determine how successful you'll be in the "real world", but don't let that be a reason for not working hard.

Alrighty, I'm tired and still have my English home work, so good luck and blow those tests away!
