You should arrive on time with spare time on your hands to be able to avoid the stress of running late right before your test.

8 hours.
Create negative affirmation about test taking such as "I am going to fail" or "I am not prepared for this test at all. True or False?
False! You should never create negative affirmation; it should be positive. You should have thoughts such as "I am fully prepared for this test" or "I am confident to pass and earn the highest score". (Never put yourself down, you can do it!)

Before taking your test, should you write down anything you remember that will help you or should you just wing it and go by what you think would be right.
You should write down whatever you remember (which is also known as Memory Cues or brain dump); never wing it. Always chose the best thing to do over just "getting by". (Possible cues include formulas, dates, quotation or acronym.)
Once you finish your test should turn it in before checking it. False?
False, because it is possible that you may have miss-read a question the first time around. It is always good to go back and look it over so you get the best score.
You can do this for each separate passage of the reading test. You can do it for all of science. You can not go back for math.
If you're having difficulties with a certain question, what should you do about it?
Skip the question and move on to a different one. Do not stay on that question for so long because it will take away from your test time. You can flag it and then come back to it at the end of the passage.
Should you study hard a night before the SOL or should you stop and get your rest?
You should NOT cram a night before a test because you need approx. 8 hours of sleep and if you do cram, you won't really remember anything because of how tired you are. You need your focus and recognition.
What is the first thing you do after reading the title and passage?
Determine the genre and write down what to look for.
You should do what you want or make a routine that helps you prepare physically and mentally before a test. True or False?
True! You should do whatever you do, if it's jamming to music then jam to music or if you like to do yoga with calming wave sounds then do that. Whatever helps you focus and gets you into preparation then do it.
