3 tests in one day. any tips?

Im taking Math II, Chemistry, and USH all on saturday. I was wondering if you guys had any tips regarding taking all three in one day. What order do you think I should go in? (is it just personal preference?)

By the way, Im going to major in math and science. I feel most comfortable with the USH (memorization), then chemistry (feel like i could forget stuff and get lazy), then math (well taking barrons practice tests and getting owned).

I was thinking about 1. math 2. chem 3. ush, but I really dont know because the thought crossed my mind of taking the ush to get the best score i can because i feel most prepared for it. I'm so lost.

Any words of wisdom would be great.

Well, it's personal preference really. You should take your worst one first, when you're fresh, and your best last, so it's something to look forward to :P

Yeah, just personal preference. I wrote the one I was most worried about first, and worked my way to the one I was most confident about (ironically, my first test ended up having the highest score, and the last had the lowest :P)

Bring food to eat during the breaks, and water...I personally start to get hungry especially after the 2nd test, and that is somewhat distracting.

How long are breaks between tests?

What do you mean by being fresh for the last one? is there a long break or something?

Breaks are about 5 minutes long.

I think what lolcats4 meant is that you'll be fresh for the 1st one, so if that's your "worst" subject, you'll have the best focus.

yo should do your best topic first,
however i would do the math, chem then ush because math you need your critical thinking more so you will be fresher. ush is just memory so you should be good
