Practice Tests Space them out. Use the bulk closer to your test day. Take the tests at the same time you are scheduled to take on test day. Take them in a similar environment. TIME YOURSELF! Use the tutorial times to write down things to remember.

Random Advice Decide how well you need to do first. Be careful how much time you need. – How long until you forget things? – How long can you stay motivated? Decide if a course is right for you. Find a study buddy. Take as many practice tests as possible. Get some rest the day before!!!!
