I'm pretty sure the curve is set before the test is administered so it wouldn't be affected by people canceling. But I could be wrong

I scouted out out my test center and the room that was listed on my registration ticket is a small lecture hall/auditorium where the seats have tiny flip up "desks". Any tips on how to deal with those "desks" that can't even fit the closed test booklet on them? I have no idea how I'm going to fit my test book, answer sheet, pencils, and watch on the desk without things falling.

@.hopkins Facts here.

Fat and protein with complex carbs are what will feed the brain. Grains and sugars ... well ... I sure hope you don't go down that road come test day.

I'm confused, are you saying I'm not stating facts or that I am? I am fairly certain that the brain runs on glucose. If you eat complex carbs they act as a time release and provide a more steady flow of glucose. If you have simple sugars (like the energy gels) then they enter the blood stream rapidly. If you have too many simple sugars at once then your body produces a bunch of insulin and you feel the sugar crash because glucose in the blood (that your brain uses) is taken out of the blood and stored. The brain can't store glucose so it has less energy to run on.

Fats and proteins definitely play a part in keeping your brain healthy, but they don't do much in terms of energy for thinking.

I wouldn't take energy gels for the LSAT. They are mostly simple sugars, which is great for things like running but not for when you're sitting down taking a test. They will probably wake you up for a little bit once the glucose hits your brain, but then you might crash. A better bet is something with protein and complex carbs like the examples listed by others.
