The document provides a checklist for students to prepare for a test, including clearing their schedule a week before the test, creating study materials and attending review sessions. In the two days before the test, students should finalize their review with others and create a cheat sheet. On the day before the test, students should review their notes without solving new problems and recreate their cheat sheet from memory. On the test day, students should eat breakfast, reflect on key themes, briefly review, arrive early and cram last minute facts before beginning the test.
