I'm going to take my written and pool test on thursday for OW and I'm really nervous. Anyone have any tips for me?

I would read a chapter in your OW book, then if the manual has question at the end of the chapter, look up the answers & write them beside the questions. After you have gone through the whole manual like this, have someone ask you the questions, and try to answer them from memory. Doing this helped me with long term retention immensely. After all, whether or not you pass the written test is really immaterial to your ability to dive. It is more important to be able to remember the basic principles later on.
Also, try to become comfortable breathing with water touching the area normally covered by your mask. Being able to do this will make it much easier to do the dreaded mask-clearing drill. More importantly, it will make you much more able to deal with a real life lost mask problem. Cold water in your bathtub, facedown while breathing through a snorkel is one possible way of practicing this.

other divers have done this ,so can you .
you're smart, don't sell yourself short, your going to be a diver.
ROCK ON TIB
as long as you understand the tables, the rest of it it mostly common sense if you stop and think about it. Make sure you read all the available answers on the multiple choice questions. I know PADI tries to be a little sneaky with a few of them. Good luck!!!
