Advice on first Ap test

Tomorrow i will be taking my first AP test..APUSH. Is there any advice that the basil community can give me? Everyone told me to just relax but i can't help but get nervous since it's timed and this test determines whether or not i wasted my entire year... Anyone have any tips and suggestions? Thanks!

Thanks everyone! I took it today and feel pretty good about it ! It seems a lot easier than my teacher's usual test, but i don't want to be too over excited without knowing my score..and that won't happen until July >_<

-Barely anyone runs out of time, maybe on the FRQ's but just get the point across as easily as possible. They don't grade on the amount of words you have, and that seems to be a foreign concept to lots of people

-Don't stress about it, just do what you can. If you think you can keep track of it, move on to the next multiple choice question if you feel very hesitant about the answer, because sitting there for 3 minutes on 1 question can have a negative impact

-Eat almonds and raisins, be hydrated

I'm taking it tomorrow, as well.
Just relax. I am studying mildly and not vigorously worrying because doing that will make me forget things.

APUSH is the easiest AP subject. Just chill. :^)

All i could tell you is to GET ENOUGH SLEEP. Eat a good breakfast. Make sure your brain is working.
During my AP tests i've actually fallen asleep for 30 minutes because I crammed the whole week. It wasn't very hard though so i finished on time.
