Study a lot and try not to think about the test. Relax

Well, here's the thing. If you cram study the night before the test, you won't remember as much as you think you will. Study for between half an hour and two hours, then take a bath. Take a nap or go to sleep early, just relax. I'd tell you to drink, but you're only thirteen. if you do drink though, DON'T get drunk, just a little loose but make sure you aren't even tipsy. Clearly you KNOW the material, you just are bad at the actual test. Take some YOU TIME the night before and you'll be fine.

You shouldn't be playing on the computer, Little Lady!
Study for 20 minutes, take a 10 minute break...repeat this process. It will help you absorb info.
It is best to study in the same, or similar, surroundings that the test is in. Wear the clothes you study in to the exam. Make associations like these, and others, to help trigger your memoty during the test.

Study over a super breakfast. Go to school. Just prior to test, pray, and put it in God's hands. Relax and take the test.
As long as you studied, everything will go just fine.

don't be afraid of that little piece of paper! You have all the information in your brain. You have studied and read and reread the information. Don't be afraid to pull it out of you tomorrow. Now go to bed and get some sleep.

Study.
It means that your memory is not good.
Ofcourse you can do well on your homework because you can open books.
Add:
Try to study before doing your homework and don't open any books while doing it.

test anxiety...you know you are prepared, so take a few deep slow breaths and calm yourself, it's just a test, for further help[when you have more time] goggle test anxiety, do some research...knowledge is power...I would say good luck, but you don't need luck, you know your stuff.
