Cramming Vocab Night Before?

<p>Is it a good idea to study vocab the night before, as long as you get a good night of sleep? What else do people do the night before the test?</p>

<p>I am doing another practice test right now and then I am going to go over the vocab that I have been working on, to review it. It is probably best to go over what you have learned, and not start something new. So, my opinion, is yes study vocab, but not new vocab.
Also, if you have made flashcards, you might want to take them to the test center with you, in case you have some spare time, so that you are not just sitting there being nervous and overthinking about the test.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t recommend doing practice questions. Vocab review is fine.</p>

<p>JTC591, i’d say study no more than 50 vocab words the night before… you don’t want to overwhelm yourself… i’m doing the same… my friend played video games the night before the test and got a 2250… just relax, and do stuff you enjoy… don’t prepare too much the night before or you’ll make stupid mistakes on test day that you really shouldn’t have created… good luck</p>

<p>I looked at the entire sparknotes 1000 list the night and morning before and only missed one vocab question :)</p>
