# Before the Exam Before starting the exam I recommend you to sleep well and after that have a great meal. Remember to **Take a shower** before the Exam and clean your desk. Go to the supermarket and buy some food and drinks for yourself and if you have a pet like me buy to it too. If you have anything in your mind to do, do it before starting the exam. Just clean your head! {% @mailchimp/mailchimpSubscribe %} ### Coffee? Reload the machine, and if you smoke buy all the stuff you need. ### Mobile Phone Just turn it off while you are Hacking! ### Backups Before starting, the exam verifies if you have backups of all virtual machines you need or tools, documentation, and binaries. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
