Tips for what to do immediately before PT/Test?

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has any tips for how to prepare immediately before taking a practice test. I feel like if I don't prep a little before taking it, I get tripped up more easily by LR and RC sections. Do any of you do any drills before taking a PT to boost your confidence? If so, what do you do?

    I didnt do anything for PT's, but for the real thing I did practice problems from each section an hour or so before, then watched some tv and chatted with a friend on the phone for a few minutes. I also was up for 3 hours before my test, ran that morning, and ate a good breakfast!

    I would usually do the first 5-10 LR questions from a previous PT or problem set/CC, and maybe also either read an easy passage or do an easy logic game. I never looked at my answers so I wouldn't psych myself out, but found just going through the sets helped me get into the groove of the test before starting.

    Warm up exercises (different types of LG, specific LRs) but dont strain yourself too much. Meditate a bit if you know how. Some basic physical exercise (run/pushups) to get the blood pumping. Eat clean.
