I’m just curious what everyone does on the day of an exam. I’ve heard advice such as go for a jog in the morning then take a nap right before the exam, or eat your favorite meal so when you leave the test feeling like trash you have at least one bright spot to remember from that day. My favorite was a co-worker that swore he needed two energy drinks prior to even have a chance at not falling asleep during the test.

Personally, I like to listen to classical music on the way to the center. Really clears my mind.

Anyone have some advice or habits they wouldn’t mind sharing?

Wake up about 3 hour prior to the exam. Eat light omelet, brew green tea to take along & sip while driving and start driving to Starbucks that is next door to the Prometrics. Sit at Starbucks for an hour while flipping thru the book for the last time. The smell of the coffee, the relaxed but not too loose atmosphere seems to help and reminds me that a few hours later I will be a free bird from studying that section and maybe done with that section forever. About 30-40 min before the scheduled test, walk to Prometrics and check in. Start test without any delays on my part.

After the test, head out to dinner to some new place that had never been visited before.

Get back home, take the warmest possible shower, head to bed and sleep thru the rest of the evening and night like a baby!
