David,
It is just golf. A player should prepare the same way he would for any other tournament but pay special attention to the mental side. By the mental side, I mean cultivating trust in himself and visualizing himself handling every possible episode with poise. Many players will get down on themselves after a weak shot or round. Those players will have no chance.
Q-school is a grind because it determines where you play the whole next year. With all the ramifications of each shot, the player must put a lot of energy into maintaining the state of mind in which he plays his best.
The player should enter Q-school with the idea of winning rather than getting his card. Smart but aggressive play is the goal.
