I've been going with a packet of peanuts and an egg salad sandwich for the snacks, with a solid breakfast beforehand and a cup of chai. It's been working pretty solid. What are you guys doing?

This can also be a thread about the nitty gritty logistics. Sleep, clothing, etc.

I brought an "adult" lunchable with meat/cheese and olives, kettle cooked potato chips, and a healthier version of Reese's cups. I also made sure I added an electrolyte packet to my water that morning so I could sip on that during breaks, and a had a mini bottle of Advil. I preemptively took 2 of those in the morning and 2 more during lunch to stave off any headaches, and used re-wetting eye drops during the exam to help with eye strain.
My test center was a comfortable temp, but I wore a long-sleeved tshirt and comfy sweats so I didn't feel restricted by clothes at all. Couldn't give you any advice on sleep, because I barely scraped together 3 hours the night before, but I took 200mg of L-theanine with my morning coffee and it seemed to keep me awake & focused without the jitters.

Bring lots of small options. During my test, I really didn't have an appetite for anything. It took a lot to get in water/energy drinks, but having a variety of small things made it easier to cram in some calories despite not wanting to eat.

I brought a turkey sandwich and Goldfish crackers. I was thinking easy protein with the sandwich, but ended up just eating the Goldfish because I don’t have much of an appetite to eat when I am stressed. I would bring some protein and something motivating but not too sugary like Goldfish/pretzels/Chex mix.
