Testing logistics question

by Songon » Thu Dec 18, 2008 6:53 am

Hi everyone,

I have a dilemma and wanted to ask you your opinion:

I have my exam at 12:15 p.m. in a city which is 3 hours away. I have a friend who was going to drive me there....(since I would get tired driving myself).

Do you think sitting in a car for so long will de-energize me before the exam? I'm debating driving myself, and staying in a hotel the night before.

I realize this sounds like a silly question, but I'm really not sure.

Thanks!
Sonu

would go to a hotel. Why to take risk?

Also, whole night you may not sleep due to apprehension.

If it were me, I'd probably stay in the hotel. I get really sleepy on long car trips!

I think this is a highly personal decision. If you think that the car trip will zap all your energy, then you've already answered your question!
