The Kaplan strategy video said:
Block 1, no break
Block 2, 5 min
Block 3, 5 min
Block 4, 30 min
Block 5, no break
Block 6, 10 min
Block 7, :-)
They also advise when doing one block, check the clock only at 10th Question, 25th Question and 40th Question

Regarding food, for bfast I think u're gonna want to eat something that'll keep u going for a few hours with all that adrenaline pumping. Like cereal and a fruit, or toast and eggs. U'll want the protien and carbs to keep u going. I think a lot of people advise to take lots of filling foods, like granola bars and bananas...less mess but full of nutrients and keeps u full. Lunch should not be heavy and NO TURKEY...it'll make u sleepy. That's all from advice...lets hear from the actual test takers.

:oops: oops!
Its on 21st ,right?
Keep going !!!!!
Give ur final touch,thats it.Dont worry at all.You will remeber as u have done it before.Be cool!!!
Regarding baks as u have read in kaplan and FA ,i will say whichever fits u best go for it.Be flexible!If ur brain starts getting fatigue,do take a break of 10 min for sure!
I will say take light food on the test day,which wont make ur brain lazy.I will suggest keep l;ots of chocolates and quick energy bars with u,plus fruits r juices!!!!Whatever u like!But give ur brain enough glucose fuel.t will have to work hard on ur big day!!!!!!1
Thats it!!!!!!

Dear Docarjun,
thanks for the comments ...Very appreciated
My exam is on 7/22 this Thursday...
I am also an img...
I don't think that we have to call the Prometric Center again for scheduling ...If we have then I have to call them ASAP! :shock:
What I know is after scheduling online and after receiving Confirmation by email then that's it!
This is according to ecfmg.org
About the Id , If you have your Drivers Licence then I don't think you will need the Passort but just take it with you..It won't cost a thing anyway :wink:
:roll: :roll: Let me confirm now if I need to call the Prometric....
All I know is you only need to call them if you want to cancell, postporn your Exam date...

i followed kaplan's advice for break time, but took less than 30 min post block 4. i brought granola and reece's pieces and fruit chews and "lunchables." have you heard of those? they're mainly for kids' lunch boxes, but great for the exam--they include crackers, cheese, lunch meat (highly preserved so can last the whole day sans refrigeration), cookies. bring sodas (caff and non-caff) and water and gatorade. i've heard peanut m&ms are great, too--sugar and protein.
you should probably drive to the center tomorrow morning so you know how to get there, esp. in traffic. i did that, and i just dropped by the center just to make sure my name was on the list. just in case, but probably not necessary. i just needed driver's license and orange permit, but individual prometric centers might have diff policies, so check.

Yeah Thanks everybody for giving me strength during this time.
Yeah I listen to Goljan everyday ,not less than four hours...After that I usually go to his HY notes and FA the same topics and repeat everything.
Like I said before HE IS REALLY A STEP 1 angel ...
Yes I will also listen to him on my way down to the Exam.Thanks Nuprin for your inspiration.
Ok , will have to do 100 Qs and then I will sleep with Goljan words....
He really connects everything so I can't afford a day without him :wink:
