Take some time tonight to reflect on the great literature we read this year and on the last nine months. Things will definitely ease up for you starting next week. You should all be proud of what you accomplished this year. It takes exceptional students like you to make it this far. Thanks for your hard work.
Now, to the test. Please arrive on time tomorrow. You really do not want to start the day off the wrong way by rushing with feelings of anxiety and stress - which is what happens when you are running late for something important. Bring blue/black pens, #2 pencils, and water. You may want to wear a watch as cell phones are not allowed. Give yourselves extra time so that you are relaxed and anxiety-free before the test. I would recommend a good breakfast of fruit, granola or oatmeal, juice, and water - these are good brain foods. Avoid foods that weigh you down or cause you to feel tired. If you have a chance, do some exercise this evening. It will clear your mind. Eat a good healthy meal for dinner and get a good night's rest. Go to bed early. Set an extra alarm, or have someone else wake you up as a backup. Other than light review, I would not spend too much time studying. As I mentioned, think about the literature and what you liked about it. Okay, have a great night. I will see you all tomorrow before the test.
