Since I started studying the CPA Ive been doing these exam superstitions(if you can call it that) where I eat pasta the night before, which I probably got from what athletes do before a big run or something. Breakfast consists of a bagel, fruit, one egg to build energy for the day. Then a pretest deuce, got that from Van Wilder, since thats probably the worst thing to knock your A game off. And then immediately head to the bar after the exam. Maybe I have been watching too much Deadliest Catch, but it seems to keep the bad juju away.

So Im wondering do yall do something like this and if so what do you eat?? Im taking AUD next sat and its a long exam. I might take a break and eat something I would bring but dont know what. Maybe a coffee shake as a drink to keep me up half way through. Or am I just weird like that? lol

FAR (Feb. '10) - 83

Pizza worked for me for BEC…I didn't read this before FAR, that night was pastalaya…NOW the question is should I continue with different meals or go back to pastalaya then to pizza…

I am not superstituous….just a little stituous =)

I just read what Mulligan wrote about being superstitious.. I'm really not either but i don't want to jinx myself. On the morning of the exam, my boyfriend and I go to DUnkin Donuts.. at 6am.. he goes to work and I drive to the testing center.

Well, Wednesday morning he doesn't have to work till 8.. I told him he still has to go to Dunkin Donuts with me at 6am.. I don't want to risk changing the routine.. he's not happy.. haha 🙂

I don't know about y'all, but during the exams I am dying of hunger. How are you supposed to sit 3 or even 4 HOURS without food!?

Yeah I know I know you can take your optional break. But seriously, who wants to give up precious minutes so that you can go out to your locker to stuff your face? I wish there were snacks at our cubes. I know I'd be stupid enough to pay for that $0.75 bag of Cheetos as a $5 mark-up in my fees.

I once read somewhere that drinking 16oz of coffee an hour before you take a big test, increases your concentration so I've done that on the last two sections and actually found that it did help. I always take a bathroom break in between the MCQs and Sims anyways, mainly to clear my brain a bit so I'm not worried about taking a bathroom break.
