3 Things To Do The Day Before BMAT

Try to relax

It’s perfectly normal to feel anxious the day before an exam – but hopefully you’ve worked hard on your BMAT revision and done lots of practice questions and past papers by this point. Remember that last-minute cramming is unlikely to help you and it might even hinder your performance.

Try to spend the day before BMAT avoiding unnecessary stress. If you want to look over any notes or remind yourself of any exam strategies, you certainly can – but you shouldn’t spend the day learning new things because this will only panic you.

Do your best to get into a good mindset before test day. Relax, watch TV, go out and do some exercise… avoid anything that will make you feel stressed! If you go to bed feeling calm, you’re also more likely to get a good night’s sleep before the BMAT.

Prepare for test day

The day before your exam, make sure you double-check the time and test centre location. Plan your journey so you will have plenty of time to get there, even if there is some sort of hold-up.

You need to bring a photo ID to the BMAT test (this could be a passport, driving license, provisional driving license or student ID) so it’s wise to get this ready the day before. You don’t want to be rushing around looking for your ID on test day!

You’ll also need a pencil and eraser for Section 1 and Section 2 and a black ink pen for Section 3, so make sure you have these items ready in advance too.

Get some sleep

This might be easier said than done, because if you’re feeling worried about the BMAT exam, you might find yourself struggling to sleep. However, if you’ve spent the day relaxing, getting into a good mindset and avoiding last-minute panic, you should be able to sleep easier.

Before you go to bed, do some reading or listen to some music if this will relax you and make you feel more sleepy. Remember that you’ve worked hard and the test will be over in less than 24 hours!
