Good luck for tomorrow's exam! Tomorrow will be the Judgement Day where you get tested for all your hard work, effort, (tears and all the hard time) in the past 13 years of schooling for maths!
Spend the rest of today going over some past papers but I reckon going through all the relevant formulas is more paramount.
Make sure you know all the geometry proofs off by heart and pay attention to the tests for the different quadrilaterals, i.e. opposite angles are equal for parallelogram.
Spend today getting some stationery organised too. I am taking 2 pencils, ruler (30 cm), Maths-Aid (not necessary though), protractor, small rulers, 3 blue pens and 3 black pens. Don't forget calculators. I am taking 2 in but I will borrow one from school just in case. (they have tonnes of calculators~)
For tomorrow's breakfast, it's best to have some good nice meal that is fat-free. Have some low GI foods such as cereal, bread and fruits.
Oh yeah, GO TO TOILET (or bathroom for ladies) before you do the exam tomorrow.
Relax and don't take much books to school tomorrow to study. Get something to help you relax in the morning tomorrow. Just get your formula sheets and read over them. I don't think studying in chunks in the morning of an exam will help you in anyway - it will probably make you more psyched up.
As for me, I will just take some formula sheets and read over them and that's all I will probably do. I will take iPod to relax a bit.
In my opinion, getting a drink bottle into the exam room is quite smart. I wouldn't really drink in huge amount at the start of the exam.
Another tip: don't be late to school. Get there early. If you get there late, well you are not in for the best mood for the exam.
During the exam, try to pick all the marks up from Q1-8. They are usually easy marks that you don't want to miss. But don't invest too much of your time in those as you might need some other time for Q9 - 10 and during your reading time, it's always best to see whether you can pick marks up from Q9-10. If you don't think that you can do any of them, well put your time into Q1-8. If you can try some, do it. By the way, if you have no idea of how to approach question, write out the formulas (that are relevant). You might be lucky enough to pick some marks up. My teacher always said that it's always best to go at every question. If you don't know a thing, just pass. Don't waste a momet in that question.
LAST TIP: Don't waste time. You only have an one shot at this unless you are accelerants. Use all the available time given to you.
So, basically my whole point is: GOOD LUCK. You deserve good exam for all the hard work that you have put in and you definitely deserve good results for that.
