Hmm I don't recall being sarcastic, although then again I might have been a bit.

What qq said: do not try to learn anything new.
One thing that you could try (If you are not already doing this): get used to solve in front of people.

I don't know if you have met or know other people that speedcube (or even solve a cube for that matter), but my first competition wasn't about competing at all. I went into it with the mindset of meeting new people and learning how the competitions were organized and arranged.
At least for me, this relieved a lot of the tension/nervousness and and helped me to benefit from the knowledge of the other more experienced people there.

I love seeing young people with a cube. I had fun because I was competitive for reviving the cube when he was almost dead.

Remembe these things
-Keep in mind you won't win. You didn't come to do so, but to have fun and interact with others who have this other strange hobby called speedcubin'.
-Relax
-Your first solve should NOT be an official one. Do some warm ups, on a heavier cube if you can. (Advice from Tristan Wright)
-Don't be a fanboy like ~Phoenix Death~
-Socialize
-Practice. Learn your PLLs, but don't rush. After that, practice F2L slowly. Don't try to cram it all in and try to be sub-30 by the time the comp comes.

what cube do you use? that could easily affect how your times are. and if it's a bad cube and you do not like it, best to try and find a cube like a guhong or lingyun when cubedepot is there. if you dont know which cubes are good ones, find somebody willing to help beginners (unlike that Dene guy).
