Sort of like a last meal before execution? lol

Nah but seriously, now that the exams are longer I’m curious to know what people are eating to sustain them through the long 4-4.5 hours.

Your fail scores are like battle scars, so wear them proudly!

I schedule my tests earlier in the morning because that works better for my family. I usually go to Cracker Barrel by myself and eat breakfast.

My last 3 were at 8am, so an Egg McMuffin and 5 hour energy has become the routine SMH!

I have BEC at 12:30 today! Having a smoothie and a banana (: bringing an extra banana to the exam and some of my caffeine pills and a bottle of water. During FAR, I got nervous and started getting really thirsty but didn't bring water -__-

Good luck everyone!!

I must be crazy but since my stomach acts up when I am nervous and especially before these tests, I hardly eat…I don't care to take snacks, breaks, I just go in there and get it done! 🙂 LOL all of my tests have been in the afternoon, so I just have a regular breakfast in the morning and then go in..I can't think about food or anything when I am taking the test, needless to say, afterwards I am starving, but during and before the test, I am in the zone!

[kdawg22]

Something light. I usually take the test in the AM so on my way to the testing center I'll just pick up a plain bagel, don't want to upset the stomach when already nervous. Be careful what you eat the night before also. I made the mistake of getting wings the night before the first time I sat for BEC.

I actually credit a Fast food Mediterranean Place for passing my last exams (REG, AUD, FAR).

I always ordered a Cheese Burger Combo with a Coke one hour before my exam. The thick cut fries were awesome!

Sure enough I passed each of those exam with high scores.

When I took BEC and didn't go to that Mediterranean place i barely pass the BEC exam.

I take my exams at 1pm.

At around 7 or 8am I'll have oatmeal with bananas and blueberries, and a hardboiled egg.

At around 11am, I'll make a salad (heavy on meat toppings) and maybe some chili for lunch. I usually don't finish it bc I'm not in the mood to eat much at that point.

For the 15 min break, I'll pack an apple, a couple string cheeses, maybe a protein bar for some quick energy.

Water and coffee throughout the day. I try not to overdo the caffeine bc adrenaline will be high and I don't want to get to foggy.

My tradition so far has been mcdonalds breakfast and coffee in the morning. I'm usually too nervous to eat around lunch, so I just bring a bottle of water and a granola bar during the test.

[Grasshopper]

Lol, I have peanut butter hahaha. Hey, there's been studies that either peanut butter makes you smarter or more alert during tests supposedly. I figure it can't hurt so its my ritual before a test. I have a p&j sandwich the night before and I either have a slice of toast in the morning or this last time was out of time so I had a spoonful of peanut butter before leaving the house. It sounds redicules in writing but I have passed two parts and hopefully will have passed the last two when scores are released. 🙂

I have 1230 exams and spend the night in a hotel the night before. Last time I had a pizza with chicken, bacon, ranch and jalepenos, followed by several glasses of bourbon at the bar. snack on dried fruit and pistachios in the room.

Exam morning I just hydrate, caffeinate and maybe snack on the fruit and nuts.

[Anonymous]

I've always done first thing in the AM exams. (otherwise I would just fret all day until it was time anyway) For breakfast, I would have smoked salmon. During the exam I would have some peanut butter crackers and ice tea at breaks (yes I always took breaks)

An hour drive to the nearest Prometric, brunch/lunch at Panera with my husband at about 10:30 am. Then down the road to Prometric. They always let me start earlier than my official start time. Husband sat in waiting room reading novels all afternoon, cheered me on. Didn't take a break or eat anything during the exams – just needed to stay in the zone. Afterwards, supper at Red Lobster except one time supper at my cousin's house, then the hour drive home. A drive in the country is a good thing.

2 not so good double cheeseburgers from McDonalds or a Bacon Cheeseburger and Beer from Applebys. Depends on how nervous I feel.
