#2

Ear plugs (Wore them for the first time last year and it helped. They eliminate a lot of the annoying background noise: chairs moving from across the room, coughing, etc…)

Jacket (Our testing center is always freezing)

Don’t forget not taking it to psycho-level seriousness…

But seriously though, don’t be one of those guys. Good luck, regardless.

  1. Empty bladder. I passed L3 in 2008, but I still remember having to cross my legs for half of the morning session. I had to pee so bad but there wasn’t a second to spare.

SCREWDRIVER - to replace batteries if you have a TI calc.

Second calc if you are paranoid. Don’t worry if you can’t get one before the exam. I didn’t have to use my spare.
