Big exam tomorrow

I will be taking a harmony exam at the royal conservatory of music (aka, draw dots with sticks on the end for 3 hours)
after that, my piano grade 10 exam on the 18th

failed the harmony one last year, the first time that's happened, so I'm redoing it tomorrow

so does anyone have any really good pre exam tips?

Most important one is get plenty of sleep and never pull all-nighters. I can't give much else as I am totally unfamiliar with the course, the material, or how you will be tested. If it relies on memory though, sleep is crucial when studying to retain the material, as that is when the brain converts things to longer term memory.

Good luck....as Neon correctly states, sleep is important.

No advice from me, all the best with the exams though.

If the test is tomorrow, it is too late to do anything other than get a good night's sleep and have a good breakfast.

Good luck.

Plenty of rest, no alcohol or drugs so your mind is clear, go through the notes from last year's test that you failed and see where you went wrong, think positive, if you need to clear your head from studying, go outside and get some fresh air.
Other than that, maybe talk to people who have passed the test and can give you advice.
Good luck

Best of luck to you! Get rest, stay hydrated, choose carefully what you eat for breakfast before the test (you do eat breakfast, right?).
