Even plan your breaks and time to eat! The more efficiently you use your time, the more prepared you will be and preparation is your best weapon against test anxiety.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: blue\"><span style=\"font-size: large\"><u><span style=\"font-size: x-large\"><span style=\"color: red\">Create a good study en<u>vironment<\/u><\/span><\/span><\/u><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: blue;font-size: large\"><span style=\"color: red\">Pick the place that works best for you (check out our last post for some ideas!) and move in for the week.
