A note for some of you going through the testing. Remember that while studying is really important, being physically fit is also very important and critical to your success.

When I went to competitions, I was usually very tired by the last day, and sometimes that sleep deprivation carried into the next week. My advice would be to study before champs, and study the few days after champs, but don't stay up at champs to study because it will just tire you out. Resting and then focused studying when you're not in an arena and competition environment will go a long way. Best of luck!
