"Keep away from people who belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great."

Address of the AP Tests: 5100 Adolfo Road
Game Day: First thing's first. Make sure to set an alarm clock. Or two. Or three. Whatever time your test is offered, you don't want to oversleep and end up rushing around in a panic.
Once you're awake, try to stick to your normal morning routine. If you usually eat a big breakfast, eat a big breakfast; you don't want to feel like you're starving halfway through the test. If you usually don't eat a big breakfast, don't eat a big breakfast; you don't want to find yourself going into food coma just as you hit the essay section.
Basically, you've been training your body and mind to follow a certain morning routine for years, and you'll only throw yourself off if you do something radically different on game day.
(Of course, if your normal morning routine involves sleeping through first period and then walking around like a zombie until lunchtime ... well, you might want to switch things up a bit.)
Next up: know where you're going. Your own high school might be hosting the test, but it's likely that you'll have to show up somewhere else to take the test. If you're going somewhere new, make sure you know where you need to be and how to get there. This isn't a great time to get lost!
Try to show up a little bit early. Give yourself time to get settled, use the bathroom, get a drink of water, etc.
And finally, in the last minutes before the test starts, get yourself in the zone. If you're the kind of person who performs best when cool and collected, take a moment to meditate or clear your head. If you're the kind of person who performs best when a little bit more amped up, maybe throw your favorite hype song on your iPod. (Presuming you're not a boxer, will there ever really be another moment when "Eye of the Tiger" would be more appropriate as your theme song than right now?)
Whatever your style may be, take a minute to get yourself in the right frame of mind. Then take a deep breath, walk into the exam, and knock it out the box.
What to Bring: The most important thing to bring to the exam is your mind.
But there's some other stuff that will come in handy, too:
The College Board is all about policing contraband. It's not hard to figure out why; a few idiots have been trying to cheat on their tests for decades. And the College Board has always been one step ahead of them, blocking people from bringing anything that might be used as a cheat sheet into the exam room.
As our digital gadgetry has gotten more and more fancypants, the College Board has gotten more and more stingy about what can come into the exam room. As a general rule of thumb, if it could be used to carry information, it can't come in the room.
So don't bring any of this stuff:

But there's some other stuff that will come in handy, too:
- Watch: Time management on this test is key, and you never know if you might get stuck in an exam room with a broken clock. So wear a watch. But make sure it's a quiet watch ... if you start beeping during the test, bad things might happen.
- Pencils: Two of them, sharpened, #2 lead, with good erasers. Emphasis on the good erasers. You want to be able to change an answer if you realize you've made a mistake.
- Your admission ticket: When you register online for the test, this ticket is automatically created for you. Although you can print it out at any time by signing into the College Board website, we recommend printing it out BEFORE the night before the test. As you've probably learned, that's when printers always decide to flake out.
- Photo ID: As tempting as it may be to hire the genius kid from math class to take your SAT for you, the College Board is on to that scheme and makes it a point to check that the you taking the exam is actually, well, you. If you leave your ID at home, you're not getting in to that exam.
- A drink or snack: You'll get a short break during the test, so bring a little bit of brain food.

So don't bring any of this stuff:
- Cell Phones: Yes, your iPhone really could come in handy on a test. No, you can't bring it inside. Yes, we know that it makes you feel naked to go without your phone, even for two or three hours. You're just going to have to deal with it.
- Laptop Computers or PDAs: For obvious reasons. One important exception: if you have a disability that requires you to use a computer to take a test, and you've made arrangements for approval beforehand, you may bring your computer.
- Fancy Watches: Not "fancy" as in blinged out. "Fancy" as in, watches that beep, make other noises, have an alarm, connect to the internet, etc.
- Cameras: Again, for obvious reasons.
- MP3 Players, Radios, etc.: After you rock "Eye of the Tiger" during your pregame routine, leave your iPod in you car or your locker.
- Books, Dictionaries, Scratch Paper, Notes, Cheat Sheets: No duh.
- Highlighters or colored pencils: We don't totally get this one, to be honest. But we don't make the rules, do we?
Maps you absolutely need to know:
- Lands controlled by Charles V and the HRE
- Lands contested and conquered by Louis XIV
- Partitions of Poland
- Expansion of Russia, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries
- France and Europe under Napoleon
- Europe after the Congress of Vienna
- Unification of Germany and Italy
- British and French Empires, post 1871-1945
- Africa, 1885-1914
- Europe after WW1
- Europe after WWII
- Europe after the fall of Communism
