Hi,
I took a practice uworld test this morning and I was still tired from a late night and I made a lot of stupid mistakes. I am a night owl by nature. I tried to change it earlier in my studying, but after a couple of weeks I decided it wasn't getting me very far, so I went back to being a nightowl, and my productivity peaked. I get way more, way better studying done when I go to bed late and wake up late, so I'm not fighting myself anymore. But the test is early in the morning and I'm probably going to make stupid mistakes. Any tips?
Does any testing center offer the option of taking the test later in the day?
Thanks for the advice!

I was able to get a testing time of noon the day I took it. It doesn't seem to be easy to find a center that does this, but if you can get a time like that it would probably work wonders. I tend to be a night owl too, and it definitely saved the day.

I know its probably slim chances, but try calling the specific testing center or prometric scheduling and see what they can do for you. There is some leeway on the test start time anyways, maybe they have someone willing to stay later for you. For me, I could not find an open slot at the test center I wanted so I called and apparently their website was not working for that site.
