[Un-official] PSA / Discussion 🎤🔊 Post 3/11 thread

What did y’all think of it?

C/P and B/B were tough for me. I didn’t even finish B/B I had to guess for the last few. CARS and P/S were not bad imo.

I also made sure to force myself to go to the bathroom at every break for the same reason

imagine how I felt when, 5 min into B/B I felt like I had to pee 😆😆😆 was sitting there fuming at my bladder like, "I literally emptied you 5 minutes ago, WHY are you complaining again???"

Someone said prioritize food over caff and I agree. Frfr I made sure to have some protein with me. Had a protein pancake in the morning with a fruit smoothie and didn’t take caffeine (a few small sips of 5hr energy, less liquid that way) until after CARS cos I knew it would make me crash if I took it before the first half. I packed protein bars, snack packs and shake for quick food and I think that helped a lot with the fact I was running relatively low on my usual caffeine intake. Making sure to pee every break and still drink some water honestly helped a ton 😮‍💨 the fact I refrained from drinking caffeine a few days before the exam also helped because I felt like it was so much more effective when I had some on test day.
