The Day of the Test
Athletes should consider arriving at least 30 minutes prior to registration to make sure she is mentally prepared and focused on the test itself. Rushing to a test can cause the athlete to be flustered and can affect testing results. Note that the test will begin promptly at it's scheduled time; if the athlete is late, the test will NOT be delayed until she is prepared. If participants show up after a test has been completed, she will not be allowed to make-up the test.
