How do you spend last day before any serious contest? Need tips, HELP!
By MrTsima, history, 4 years ago, In English

Tomorrow I have the last day before IOI team selection tests, I don't have much chance but it's still not zero. I believe my main problem is that I often come up with wrong solutions and spend lots of time on it. Also, I can't sleep well the night before so I find it hard to concentrate during the contest. Any tips how to avoid these types of problems? And how do you spend last days before important contests?

At the last day before any serious contest I do nothing.

Excercise till you are tired and fall asleep. Last minute studies don't help much.

I used to spend the last day before OI on doing nothing or playing video games. If you weren't good enough a day before the contest, you won't be good enough no matter how much you train during that day. And you will get tired instead.

Think of what is the worst that can happen and how you would get over it in your 'Mind Palace'.

Motivate yourself. Participation in the competition is the reward for your enormous efforts, you deserve it.

Finally the time has come, you can now show the world who is the hottest!

I hope everything went smooth and you enjoyed your contest.

Don't get demotivated at all if things didn't happen as you want.

Don't get too proud of yourself if you did good, enjoy it but remember that this is not the end.

Be ready for the upcoming and good luck :D
