I just had mine done a couple weeks ago and it was a long, tiring day. Plan for the next day or two to be quiet days... in fact, it took me over a week to really feel like I'd recovered from the testing, I was very tired. Slept a lot, almost like I had the flu, without being sick.

Nothing to do to prepare, just try to get a good sleep before, eat your breakfast and go in prepared to do your best at whatever they put in front of you. Know that some of the tests are designed to be difficult and that's ok... its not like a test at school where you are expected to know everything and do everything perfectly.

I was really nervous before mine too... but really, its ok... the person giving the test was very understanding and it didn't feel like a judgmental environment or anything like that.

Just breathe ... that was my motto of the day

Default Test

I did mine ten days ago. It was about five hours long. It was very interesting to see that on parts of the tests I couldn't answer a single problem and on other ares I did just fine.

Someone...maybe Starr?...posted her results a few days back and just reading through that would give you a good idea of what you are going to be doing during the test. She also posted the recommendations that were given. That is what I am also looking forward to reading next week. I need more help with work arounds.

Also, eat a decent meal before the test. That is a long time to go without eating.
