How will eating a banana help, though?

Wouldn't it just end up giving you a small sugar high during the test?

[quote=Reasonable]Get a good nights sleep, around 10 hours? And have a good breakfast. Don't start cramming. Make sure you eat a banana before you take the test. Good luck![/quote]

Sadly I just found out I'm allergic to them and I love them a lot

Have books to cite examples from for the expository essays. And not any old book, a book that most people would know-preferably a book you've read in English class. I go with MacBeth cause it encompasses tons and tons of different topics and can be used to support every SAT essay I've seen as of yet.

Aside from studying:

>Use your 5 minute breaks to snack. The SAT, in my opinion, is more of an endurance test rather than an actual aptitude/etc test; 'ya gotta be full.
>Prepare thesis statements: 25 minutes is barely enough time to write an essay, so having a general introduction will save you a lot of time.
>The math section is the easiest, so don't worry about it too much.
>[b]When you enter the room, try to choose a seat where there will be no distractions.[/b] You never want to sit next to the person who's sneezing and breathing like a fricking gorilla.
>Bring mints, gum, etc. The stuff is proven to stimulate blood flow or whatever.

I have taken some practice and I took the psat twice. I get emails from the collegeboard and do a problem a day thing, but yeah I'm thinking I should try one of those practice tests
