Feel prepared and ready to go the next day. Night before your exam:

Pack the night before! Make your exam checklist.
- Here is an example of my exam checklist:
  - - student ID/ID with a photo
    - pens, pencils, erasers, sharpener, highlighters, rulers
    - 2 bottles of water (remove the labels)
    - watch (not a smart watch)
    - 2 packs of tissues
    - layered comfortable clothing (some exam rooms are too hot and others are too cold)
    - light snacks or lollies to reward myself in a 3 hour exam
    - an approved calculator (if required)
    - allowed notes or textbook (for open book exams)
    - and anything else I think I will need for the particular exam
