    • read through the paper before you answer any questions. It has been shown that by doing this your mind sub-consciously works on the questions while you're doing the rest of the paper.
    • Make spider diagrams of your notes. I did this for biology and it really helped. Like, for respiration, i did three lines out from it: aerobic, anaerobic in muscles and anaerobic in yeast, then go from there.
    • If you're doing something like French and you don't know how to spell something, it's most likely spelt properly somewhere else in the test. This applies for most subjects though, they will say "what is this" then later in the paper it will tell you.
    • Once you're finished check over the easy questions first, they're the one you're most likely to make the silly mistakes on
    • Get a good nights sleep, at least 8 hours. Have a good breakfast, and take vitamins if you can.
    I'm doing my practice GCSE papers and I used all these tips. I've only got my maths result back so far, but I got 95% :)

    Don't listen to that... Neither SAT nor AP tests are made like that. the answers are random. Their is not set number of A's, B's, C's, D's, and E's. Their is no definate ratio of A's to B's etc...
