I guess the best thing to do is to keep focused on the questions and not on the implications of the outcome of the test. You can't start guessing or worrying about the score you're going to get, all you should do, is take it one question at a time. If a question is too difficult, skip it and come back to it later if you've got time left. It's important to try to get into this way of thinking before the test, practice staying calm and visualize yourself being calm when taking the test. Other things that help you stay calm, are of course being well-prepared, well-fed (but not too much), making sure you are prepared for any temperature in the test center, and most importantly, making sure you had a good night sleep the night before the test. It's a good idea to start going to bed at the same hour you'd like to go to bed on the night before the test, say about a week or so before, otherwise you risk lying awake if you're not used to the hour. These things seem might obvious or silly, but they can really help, believe me! The diet you should be keeping to contains: fish (great brain-food), nuts, fruit, vegetables, and loads of water! Food that contains a lot of fat and /or sugar will make you feel tired or will give you a short energy boost and then leave you flat, so avoid those even in the days before the test. Also avoid cafeine, since it can make you feel too agitated. If you do need a little boost, try some green tea with gingko. I hope this helps! I feel as if I'm giving advice to someone who's going to run a marathon! But a lot of the advice is similar!
Take away from it what you think might work for you and try it before the test! Most importantly, stay happy and upbeat! If it doesn't work out, there's always a plan B! GOOD LUCK!!!
