Everyone has that "one thing" they have to do the day of a test. One of my Captains (prior MSgt) once told me that "before you test, eat a Reese's Cup... that way you have energy for the test, and worst case scenario, you had a Reese's Cup for breakfast"... so what is your "must do" on the day of a big test

I had a guy tell me a similar thing in year #4 of my military service. There was quite a competition to see who was going to be the distinguished honor graduate of my CI agent's course in 1979. This one fellow claimed that eating a sugar packet (something like a Reese's Cup) before a test was his secret to success. It almost worked for him, but unfortunately, he was "going up against" me. And the rest is history. My tradition was to "chill" before a test ... after preparing to beat the band. That has worked for all my life.

I tend to do the same thing. I study like mad leading up to the test, but the day before/of I don't touch any testable material. It usually works well for me, I'm hoping it worked this time as well.
