I have been told that fish helps with memory but I doubt that you would want that @6:30 am If you just want something so your stomach doesn't start talking to you during your test eat a nutrigrian bar or a "Toaster Struddle" or try just a sausage biscuit something small should help. Good Luck on your test!

Thumbs up Re: Breakfast b4 the test?
I would eat some protein like a small omelet, peanut butter, cottage cheese basically protein. Make sure to take a lunch bag with you packed with small snacks of protein because you do not know how long you will be there and when you break you need a small snack if you are hungry. Good Luck!

your test will be tomorrow? well goodluck to us as mine will be on friday....

anyway, back on the breakfast thingy..... you need to at least something before you take the exam. i know you don't have the appetite and feels like vomiting whenever you try but you need to eat something. hunger can distract you and lose your focus but you don't want distractions right?

just eat light and easy to chew foods that can be swallowed easily...a pancake perhaps?

A couple of medium sized pancakes and a scrambled egg should do. You don't want to be hungry but you don't want to overdo it either. And don't forget to pack that snack for your break. Good luck.

Oh man it just erased my reply...

So are all tests at 8am? I am not a morning person and that would really stink! I am not eligible to register for the test yet that's why I do not know. (I am just waiting on my email) Hopefully there will be an option to take it a little later ha. I would be very happy!

not all test are 8am at pearson san francisco. i always schedule myself via online and i see some dates that have 9, 10 am or 1,2 pm. i don't know if all dates have those hours or just already taken since i only see once or twice per month that with available time like that....

i'm not a morning person anymore too but i envy you if you can still sleep hours away before your exam. i usually can't sleep before my exam that's why i prefer it to be morning so the agony would end sooner than still waiting for my doom longer.....

You don't want to eat anything "heavy" that may make you sleepy, but you do want to load up on some protein. So some eggs, a little bacon and a slice of toast would be great. Maybe some cheese toast?? I'd avoid the pancakes, etc....they can turn to lead in your tummy

Remember that you can't take *anything* into the test area with you, so if you take food items make sure they'll fit in a small locker and won't need refrigeration, etc.

Good luck on your test

I tested Wednesday, kept breakfast simple ... a whole wheat English muffin with peanut butter, my daily handful of vitamins/minerals/herbs, and washed it all down with about a quart of yerba mate. It worked for me through school, saw no need to upset my "ritual" ..... test cut off at 85, hopefully for the best
