Avoid translating everything.
 
Get ENOUGH sleep. Never stay up late before the exam.
 
Have a light meal. Some dates or honey mixed with water is highly recommended.
 
Dress comfortably.
 
Make sure that you already know where the exam place is.
 
Understanding and observing the instructions of every question is very important in the four sections of the test.
 
The best and most important tip is (PRACTICE).
 
Do not leave any question unanswered. Answer all the questions even if you are not sure of their answers. There is no penalty for guessing. Never guess unless you are about to run out of time. However, you need to make intelligent guesses. For example, statements that look logical are often (Not Given). Such statements are put there to trap candidates into believing the statement is actually mentioned and true.
 
Taking practice tests without feedback and checking what went wrong is a waste of time
 
Time is crucial. You must answer as soon as possible
 
Stay relaxed and focused. Panicking will not do any good for you. Take a deep breath when feeling nervous.
