Is anyone eating anything or avoiding certain foods the days before and day of test? I plan to eat really bland foods and not drink any alcohol the day before.
I’m taking the test out of state - no idea what I’m going to eat for breakfast
This one is easy. Chocolate (>70% cacao). It will keep you going, suppress apetite without making you feel like a lump on a log. I eat this brain food everyday.
Anyone pounding some coffee pre-exam? I feel it might be a bad idea as you come down…
eat fish,fruits,veggies,choc,coffee
I’m a little nervous about the coffee as its usually about 2 hours before it hits, and I’m trying to avoid bathroom breaks lol
I’m going with a protein bar, yogurt with some fruit along with some coffee for breakfast. Lunch will prob have a turkey sandwich, cereal bar and fruit.
What’s with the chocolate?
chocolate is yum
Ya I would hate wasting time running to bathroom.
I know exactly what I am going to eat. 1 beany burrito for breakfast and 1 in the noon. I will make sure to prepare an extra pair of pants. lol Wear your nose plug CFA level takers in Seattle!
Eggs are good brainfood I hear, so probably bring a ziplock with half a dozen for befoe the exam and during lunch
ohh atleast washrooms are allowed 
Breakfast: Banana, coffee, biscuits.
Lunch: Banana, mandarine and a sandwhich, probably with brown bread (complex carbs) and turkey/ham.
In the morning I’ll probably just feed off the fear from the other test takers. That should fill me up nicely until noon.
Lunch will be at nearby food court.
Wouldnt worry about coffee in the morning, i think you’ll be pumped up enough (if you slept that is) and yes you will need bathroom 2 hours in. Protein rich lunch, chicken sandwich wholemeal bread etc, and a large filter coffee. I was struggling to keep eyes open in the 2nd half of the pm exam last june.
I think if you’re a regular coffee-drinker, you should ABSOLUTELY drink coffee prior to the exam. The benefits of reaching your “baseline” (I have a serious coffee problem) before the exam outweigh the consequences of one or even two trips to the restroom during it. If you don’t regularly drink coffee, I agree that you should just rely on your adrenaline and proper rest to prepare you for the fun!
take hard chocolates with you during the exam as they can help you in sustaining the energy level. Try avoiding the food which can potentially distrub you or create problems for your health now a days as no one can afford now to give to the exam with a deterioirated health!
I think only preperatio make su clear exams 
Daytime cold medicine that have pseudoephedrine and caffiene are a nice coffe replacement.
I might also suggest testing out your reaction to cocaine, but be sure to do it prior to the exam, like today or tomorrow. That way, if it causes you trouble, just don’t take it - but I hear its quite the stimulant (and you avoid the diuretic properties of coffee)!
Boom - problem solved!
