Any words of advice on test taking skills or possible things to go over again before tomorrow? Wish me luck! ;)If possible, get out of your house. Or at least get parental (or step-parental) units to hush your sisters. That sort of noise can be a terrible distraction.
What you need is a sample of the right kind of noise. When I was studying for my Astronomy exam, I went to IHOP. There was enough ambient noise to keep the ADD part of my occupied, leaving my sane normal self to study in peace. Better still, food and coffee. ^_^
If you can't go out to some 24-hour place like IHOP, try and create the same atmosphere. Find someplace comfy, or at least away from your computer. Put on some classical music or something without words. Get some food and coffee.
Good luck! I'm about to take my Grammar exam, so I know where you're coming from. ('Cept that I don't know much about computers... :blink:)
