May the Force Be With You



Tomorrow is the big day: OFFICIAL ACT. 

You've certainly put in the time, so there's no need to get nervous. Get a good night's sleep. No need to go out. No need to cram. Wake up early enough so that you can enjoy breakfast. Bring your admissions ticket, pencil, student I.D., watch and calculator. Finally, try to get to the testing center 30 minutes prior, allowing yourself time to settle into the environs.

Aside from the rules and strategies, embrace process. The pencil is a tool, and you should use it for process of elimination, underlining key terms and phrases, and writing down formulas.

Don't do math in your head. Write down equations and use your calculator to compute.

Finally, don't get stuck on something. If you don't feel like you have a grasp of what is going on in a question, move on. There are always easier questions to find, and it would be a shame if you ran out of time because you spent too much of it scratching your head.

We are all looking forward to hearing about those results. They should be available online within two weeks.
