Don't sweat it

Relax on the day of the exam. The great thing about the SATs is that you can have more than one chance at it (like the first grade). Plus, sweating makes ink run. *wink* *wink*

Take small bites

Staring at a computer screen or textbook for long periods of time can cause drowsiness, eyestrain and/or boredom. It's always best to study in smaller sessions over a longer period of time...or, when you inevitably cram for eight hours straight, you could take a short break every hour.
