    I got the 8am time slot for my test. and Idk what to prepare for breakfast. Not to light, where I'm starving and not to heavy to where i get sleepy.

    What did you eat for breakfast? (:

    and i wanna be comfortable, so i think I might wear my comfy Aeropostale cloth sweat pants... you think lime green is too bright?? Lol. it gets cold in the testing center and i don't think im allowed my jacket.. so i'm wearing my black long sleeve thermal and a shirt. hair down. no make up. i wanna be as comfortable as if i were taking the test at home! but idk what pants to wear... skinny jeans make my legs restless after a couple of hours..

    what did you wear? comfortable or casual?

    I ate scrambled eggs, toast, some OJ, and a banana. As far as clothes, I wore a hoodie, jeans, my hair up, and my lucky cowboy boots (I wore those babies for every exam my last two semesters of school and they never failed me!). I was done with my test in 35 minutes so comfort ended up not being a big factor, but I wore my most comfortable pair of jeans, and hoodies are always comfy!

    I had a couple of breakfast shakes and a couple of fiber bars I ate in the parking lot of the testing center.

    Wear what makes you comfortable.

    When I took my exam, I had an early 0800 slot, too. I went with two pieces of whole wheat toast with peanut butter and topped that with a sliced banana, a little drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon. They should have lockers for you to put your stuff in. I just brought in a little wristlet with my IDs, ATT, some chapstick, a bottle of water, a snack bar and my keys. I left my phone and everything else in the car.

    Can we wear a jacket over a shirt inside the exam area?

    No jackets. They are pretty strict. I had a classmate that was wearing a hair tie on her wrist and had to remove it prior to taking her exam.

    I wore my jacket, a fleece, and it was allowed. Wear one you can pull the sleeves up on because you will have to during your inspection. You can't wear any kind of jewelry on your wrists including watches.
