of problems so I know my material out of context.

I know the format and content of
my upcoming math exam.

I know how many questions will be
on my exam and its duration.

I’ve given myself several practice
exams.
|

|
On practice exams, I’ve noted
areas of difficulty so I can strengthen them.
|
|

I’ve analyzed my past pattern of
typical errors so I can alert to them on my exam.

in the days prior to the exam.

I’ve kept up a regular program of
moderate exercise.

I’ve practiced relaxation exercise
along with positive visualization in the days and the half-hour before the
exam.
|
|

|
I’ve eaten a small meal of low-fat
protein 1 to 2 hours before the exam and avoided too much caffeine.
|
|
__
|
I’ll arrive at the exam on time
and avoid talking with others.
|
|

|
Throughout the exam, I’ll remain
calm, relaxed, and positive, checking my breathing often.

|
I will say positive
self-statements to myself and push away all disturbing or distracting
thoughts.
