How to prepare for the ACT the night before?

My ACT is coming up tomorrow, and I'm feeling a bit stressed. What should I be doing tonight to make sure I'm as prepared as possible for tomorrow's test? Any last-minute tips or advice would be awesome!

Hey there! It's normal to feel a bit stressed before a big exam like the ACT. At this point, you've likely done a lot of preparation already, so tonight is about setting yourself up for success tomorrow. Make sure to:

1. Gather all necessary items: Pack your ID, multiple pencils, an approved calculator, a watch (if needed), and snacks.

2. Familiarize yourself with test-day logistics: Double-check the location of your testing center and review the time you need to arrive. Plan your commute accordingly.

3. Relax your mind: Rather than cramming in more practice, let your brain rest. Watch a movie, read a book, or spend time with family/friends.

4. Get a good night's sleep: A well-rested mind is key to better performance. Aim for at least 8 hours of sleep.

5. Set a morning routine: Plan a nutritious breakfast and make sure you have time for a breather before leaving.

Most importantly, remember that you've worked hard to get to this point, and trust in your abilities. Good luck!
