Not So Fast, Gotta Train Fast!
You wouldn't run a marathon without prepping, would you? (Unless you're a particularly enthusiastic squirrel with a death wish.) Treat the FAST the same way. Here's your pre-test boot camp:
- Practice Tests: They're like a sneak peek at the enemy's battle plans! Find practice tests online or through your school.
- Brush Up on the Basics: Remember PEMDAS? Yeah, that's still a thing. Review key concepts in your subjects – knowledge is power, my friend.
- Become a Sleep Master: Your brain is like a high-performance sports car – it needs fuel (healthy snacks!) and rest (put down the phone!).
Remember: Cramming the night before is like trying to build a sandcastle in a hurricane. Not gonna happen.

Test day has arrived. Don't panic! Breathe deeply and unleash your inner chill.
Tip: Share this article if you find it helpful.
- Fuel Up for Focus: Eat a healthy breakfast (avoid sugary cereals that'll give you an energy crash).
- Dress for Success (and Comfort): Nobody aces a test in a sweaty itchy sweater.
- Read Carefully (Seriously, Read Carefully): Don't rush! Understand the question before leaping into answerland.
- Eliminate the Obvious Duds: Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Narrow down the answer choices and go with your gut.
Bonus Tip: If you're stuck, move on and come back later. Don't waste time stressing over one question.
Celebrate Like You Just Won the Lottery (But Hopefully with Less Debt)
You survived the FAST! High five yourself, devour some celebratory pizza (because knowledge is power, but pizza is delicious), and relax. You've earned it!
