I like to take them late afternoon. I took BEC at 4 p.m. on Monday. This way I can stay up late the night before (probably till 1 a.m. and do multiple choice). I can sleep till 10 or 11 a.m. and study some more and leave the house about 2 hours to 1.5 hours before my exam. (testing center is 45 minutes away) then I usually review in my car for 15-20 min before I go in to the testing center. I always end up sitting for the exam like 15-20 minutes early.
FAR is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.!

Early afternoon is best.
I live in Los Angeles and making a morning appointment is either a bet or significant lack of sleep (waking up several hours earlier to be sure to beat traffic).
I schedules FAR at 2pm, AUD at 11:30am (close to my apartment though) and REG at 6pm in Anaheim, so I'll have the whole day to get there and maybe go to Disneyland before :)
No way in hell I could ever go to a 7/7:30am appointment.
I wish I had some of the options that you guys have. My only options are either 7 -7:30 AM or 11 - 11:30 AM. Not a single afternoon appointment was available let alone around 4 PM or later. I am not a morning person so all of mine where at the 11 - 11:30 AM timeframe which actually sucked. Since I did not want to eat very much so I wouldn't have to worry about bathroom breaks. I always finished the exam hungry. But I would eat a light breakfast at least 2 hours prior to the exam arrive at the exam at least 1 1/2 hours early and reviewed the stuff that I was having trouble with. Usually help me for 2 or 3 questions that last minute review. Kept the same routine for all exams, walk in about 20 minutes, hit the bathroom and drink a water and then check in. Always started at least 15 minutes early for every exam. Always scheduled the exam on a Tuesday if possible and took Monday off and did a 3 day cram which I also found extremely helpful.

closest testing center for me 2-3 hrs away so for sure no earlier than 10a. I always scheduled at 12pm. I dont like to schedule later either cause after wards I can have go have fun in the city and later in the night go out club/bar/drink with friends who live in the city.
I don't like spend night before cause I dont like sleep in unknown beds (hotels) cuz that in itself is stressful for me unless I get a $500 super luxury room with i cannot afford, or i physically take my king size bed with me.
