Taking my first CPA exam tomorrow, been averaging ~85 on mcq the last few weeks, need to stop at some point right? Any tips for exam day? I plan on doing some mcq in the morning to get the juices flowing.

I tend to stay away from doing problems the day of but that might be personal preference. I just look over my flash cards.

Get a good night's rest, eat a big breakfast (something with carbs to give your brain energy), and hydrate yourself. Don't drink too much water right before the exam. You can bring a snack if you decide to take a break but that depends on how much time you have left. I've always taken a 5 min break right before the SIMs but again some people prefer not to waste any time.

Arrive at the location at least a half hour early. Bring your NTS and ID. Wear something comfortable.

You will understand the routine after tomorrow. Good luck on your first exam.

Watch the Blitz videos if you have them. Do flashcards, and review your notes. Yes, you need to stop studying tonight and go to sleep. If you normally have coffee in the morning, continue to have coffee in the morning.

One last note. If you haven't already done it, map out your time budget for each testlet. Keep track of your time as you go through the exam. This is important on each exam.
