• If you're unfamiliar with the place in which you're taking the exam...do a dry run. Drive there and check it out. Figure out parking, traffic patterns, and the like.
  
• I'm not going to tell you not to study the morning of the exam, or even between the morning and afternoon sessions, because I did. In fact, something I read in my time-killingness between sessions that came in handy in the afternoon, and nearly did a dance in the exam room. Just don't kill yourself trying to cram.
  
• If you're in one of those states that lets you bring snacks, give some thought to this. You want quiet happy snacks. Remember, you'll be wearing earplugs, so chewing is deafening. My secret weapon? Cheese sticks. For some reason they made me happy. And it's calcium!
  
• Remember to bring ID. Passports work well for this.
  
• Remember your clear plastic bag for all your goodies. Ziplocs are your friend.
