so, it seems like i have issues zoning out at the end of NBMEs/practice tests. my block scores range from 90-65, averaging 77% for the 2 full kaplan testsi don't know if these kinda variations are normal... Qbanks have been steady @80% -last 1000 Qs with a few blocks ~90% and a few @~70%. similar issues with NBMEs/UWSAs. i was considering this but was hoping i could get some advice from people who have been here and had similar issues:

NBME12 or 13 + 3 blocks uworld (2nd pass after 6 months off)
--repeat after 2 days with the other NBME+3 blocks uworld
OR take NBME 12/13 back to back in 1 day and maybe just do 7 blocks of uworld on the other day.

so i'm one of those guys that is basically always eating. i could use some advice/opinions on what people think are some good ideas for food/snacks for test day..
every time i find new things to make and they all end up tasting too good for my own good. if you're curious my most recent one was: milk, greek yogurt, vanilla ice cream, almond butter, dark chocolate oatmeal (cooked) and whey protein- blended together. unfortunately it's only good for like 3 hours, and i can't really concentrate cuz i just wanna finish the block so i can go make some more cuz its.so.delicious.
