Think ahead to the months preceding the test date you are eyeing. Will you be taking classes that have a lot of homework or require a lot of studying? What extracurricular activities will you be involved in? Will you have any additional personal or family commitments that may put a strain on your time? Are there any school breaks scheduled during\u00a0those months when you might have extra time to prepare?<\/p>\n<p>Be realistic and honest with yourselfwhen aswering those questions.
