What should I do the night before / morning of the GRE?

Rest. Do not cram. Light review of key formulas or a short set of easy practice problems is fine if it calms your nerves, but heavy studying the night before does more harm than good. Get a full night's sleep, eat a decent breakfast, and show up early enough to settle in without rushing.
