Or maybe you are totally ready, but you\u2019re just feeling totally nervous. Or maaaybe you slacked a little bit, and now you are trying to cram in whatever you can before the test tomorrow. <\/p>\n<p>In the video, you\u2019ll find some tips for a few things you can do within a couple hours to greatly improve your odds of a successful test day. (Then, you really need to go to bed and get some sleep because that is the MOST important thing you can do.)<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><H3>First, pack your bag.<\/h3>\n<p>Check out this <A href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/act\/last-minute-act-tips\/\">packing list<\/a>! Don\u2019t forget your ID, your admissions ticket, #2 pencils (not mechanical), calculator with extra batteries, watch, layered clothing, and a snack. You\u2019ll feel much more in control when you don\u2019t have to worry about gathering all that stuff together in the morning.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><H3>Second, make yourself a cheat sheet.<\/h3>\n<p>Not THAT kind of cheat sheet. This is not for you to use during the test, but rather for you to use for a last-minute refresher tonight and tomorrow morning before you go into the test center.  <\/p>\n<p>This cheat sheet might be a little different based on how much you\u2019ve been studying before the day before the test:<\/p>\n<p><H3>If you have been studying:<\/H3><br \/>\nReview your practice tests and use this to inform what you put on your cheat sheet. For example, maybe you kept confusing \u201cit\u2019s\u201d and \u201cits\u201d on the English section, write down what the difference is so you can remember to be on the lookout for this on your test. <\/p>\n<p><H3>If you haven\u2019t been studying, well, you have three options:<\/H3><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>If it\u2019s early enough in the day, and you can still get a solid night\u2019s sleep (this means 8 hours), <strong>take a practice test<\/strong>. You can find <a href=\"http:\/\/www.act.org\/aap\/pdf\/Preparing-for-the-ACT.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">one for free on the ACT website<\/a>. Review what you got wrong and use this to make your cheat sheet.<\/li>\n<li>If you have only a little bit of time before you need to go to bed, don\u2019t do a full practice test, but do about 10 questions from each section of the ACT: this will help you familiarize yourself a little bit with each section, so you aren\u2019t going in totally blind.<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li><em>P.S.
