Test Coming Up? Watch This First

We often focus on how to study and prepare for an exam, but your strategy in the final 24 hours is arguably just as important. Here's how to optimize the day before and day of your exam to get the highest score on your midterm, final, MCAT, or USMLE.

On the day before your exam, know when to stop studying. Studying until the last minute is counterintuitively counterproductive. Prioritizing sleep and proper recovery is better than cramming or pulling an all-nighter in an effort to retain more.

On the day of the exam, eat a well rounded and healthy breakfast with complex carbohydrates, fats, and protein. Arrive early, and focus on self-talk that serves you. You've prepared all you can for the test. Now it's your time to shine.
