# 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 it too and clean the toilet.

If you have anything in your mind to do, do it before starting the exam. 

Just clean your head!

### Coffee? 

Reload the machine, and if you smoke buy all the papers you need.

### Mobile Phone

Just turn it off while you are Hacking! You are being prepared for the real world :P

### Backups

Before starting the exam verify if you have backups of all virtual machines you need or tools, documentation, and binaries. If you can afford a dedicated external disk for all your security/certification stuff, do it!
