What to do in the Hour Before Your GMAT
Just as your most strategic move on the day before your test is not to study, the same goes for test day itself. There is very little benefit to waking up the morning of your test and studying for the GMAT. Doing so would be analogous to a marathon runner getting up on the morning of her marathon and running 7 miles. Just as no sane person would run 7 miles before a marathon, no person taking the GMAT should engage in GMAT prep in the hours before the exam. As we’ve discussed, you want to go into your test fresh and energized.
The best things you can do on test day are things that get you to the test center on time and in the best possible state of mind. Many of these things center on keeping yourself healthy and happy.

For example, you could:
- Wake up early and have a healthy, delicious breakfast.
Meditate and visualize your success.
Stretch or do some light yoga.
Make sure that you are sufficiently hydrated.
If you regularly drink coffee, make sure you have your morning Joe.
If you’re taking the GMAT online, make sure that your room and your desk are prepared.
If you’re taking the GMAT at a testing center, make sure that you leave early and arrive at the testing center on time.
