1.  Study beforehand

2.  Take your time - you have pleanty - don't rush

3.  If you don't know the answer right away, skip that question and come back to it.  It is easier to concentrate if you know that you have completed the test and only have a couple of hard ones to think about than it is if you get stuck on question 4 and wonder if you are gonna have enought time to finish. Get the easy ones out of the way first and then take your time thinking about the harder ones.

4. Don't forget your E6B and your checkbook.

Good luck!

If you haven't already, take practice tests. You can expect your score to drop by about 10% from a practice test with a reasonable sampling of the test bank questions to the real thing. So if you need a 70% on your FAA written, that means that consistently scoring 80s is minimum for a practice test, but build yourself a buffer and make sure you're getting higher. In fact, I usually won't even endorse a student unless they can show me a 90%!

Other than that, just relax, make sure you READ THE QUESTION, the FAA loves to trick you by subtly wording questions that steer you toward a wrong answer. Don't let this intimidate you, any person of average intelligence can pass with flying colors, just be aware.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.
