Well, the casino idea didn't work as I failed with a 67...but I did bring it up 9 points so I'm not considering it a complete failure. The next 9 points will throw me into a passing grade.

I guess I have to dust myself off and try again! ugh ugh ugh

My rituals:

The night before the exam, I go to bed at a decent hour (I am a night owl that typically doesn't go to bed until the very wee hours of the morning).

I forego all caffiene and caffinated beverages the day of the exam.  I do some last minute light review at a library which is right down the street from the test center while snacking on a banana and either dried fruit or a trail mix (preferably Emerald).  If those are not available, I eat a sweetened Chex party mix.

When I get to my test cube, I say a brief prayer, and I begin.

Afterwards, I go to a restaurant and have a huge meal, but not before starting off with a nice tall Long Island iced tea.  Cheesecake Factory is my preferred spot.

I find that when I want to review a section, I'll take a long shower and talk out (loud) definitions, mnemonics, etc. to the shower wall.  For some reason, I have good recall in the shower.
