Preparation for exam trying, energy, drinks, active, different

prashantsahni

In order to stay active and focus on exam day, I'm trying different energy drinks.
Today I had Red Bull - sugar free and I feel no effect. I still want to sleep.

What do u guys prefer to drink and eat on exam day?

I wouldn't rely on my nervousness.... I remember while taking GMAT, the last half an hour I just trudged through the questions without a thought!! I was tired... No surprise my Verbal score suffered!

Starbucks breakfast blend has never failed me before, so I am just going to stick with what works. Idk about breakfast yet though.

For me first hour of the exam is very exciting. By the time, I finish FRA, equity and reach derivatives, I feel brain dead. Even thought if I have time to attempt questions from derivatives and FI, I don't feel like attempting it. I was trying to build stamina by doing mocks but I don't think I am up for 6 hour exam. I will definitely suffer in the last section of the exam.

I would like to know what you guys are going to eat in the breakfast and lunch, I haven't figured that out. Freshly brewed Starbucks coffee works best for me, and that's what I am going to have one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I am not sure if they will let me come out of the exam hall or they will have Starbucks coffee there inside the complex. I heard chocolates are pretty good too, they keep you energetic while not making you hungry and energy drained. What do you guys think?

Anyone in Dallas? Anyone planning to attend after exam CFA parties? I was contemplating if I don't even clear level 1, it will be embarrassing to join those parties.

I'm doing a dry run tomorrow morning (at around the time I would leave at), just to give me an exact idea of where I need to go, and how long it will take from leaving my place to entering the exam room...

I think it will be a regular coca-cola for me. the one with a lot of bad sugar. Usually when i feel down and dizzy, it works well

i'd advice not to experiment anything new during these crucial day's and none of these would really help however some of you might need to reduce their stress level and Best of Luck for the exam day =)
