pbear Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Recommend what food you had/will have to keep the brain working and well during the whole 5.5 hours? I'm finding myself SO tired by the end of the exam but I'm not a energy drink kinda gal/can't drink disgusting tasting liquids. Also, any advice on whatever one can do during the break to make them feel calm for the next section will help as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ameltingbanana Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 I'm probably going to bring stuff reasonably high in sugar/glucose, keep my brain juiced haha. In terms of drinks, maybe some tea, iced or whatever you like? Has a decent amount of caffeine/sugar I think, but not as much as something like coffee.

thehumanmacbook Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Make sure it's D-glucose. /shameless joke/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asta Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 I had granola bars and fruit on my breaks and some vitamin water. And I had a BIG balanced breakfast. I just tea early in the morning, because I don't do well with coffee in high anxiety situations. I was really happy with my food and break time. I also made myself walk around a bit and go to the bathroom each break and I did not skip any of the breaks. I did not talk to anyone about the test at breaks and I did my best to clear my mind.

Thaaanks! I always find your advice helpful. Coffee would be a terrible idea before the exam for me too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
