Capitol City Chop House the night before(or lunch the day before).
Porter's tavern is good too(I prefer it more). Its across NC State.
Red Room for "dinner" AFTER the test. Red Room not the best place in
the world but it has its laughs. Mainly b/c of drunk...well lets not go
there
But seriously, just relax. The lab is actually relaxing once you get in
there. Finally your turn to bat. It's the day or 2 leading up to it
that killed me. And the good point has been made, you know what you
know by now. Just have confidence and don't allow tasks to throw you
off. I had something puzzle me in routing and after that I doubted
myself on everything and that led to panic. I was looking up real basic
stuff in DOCCD b/c I couldn't put to words together if my life depended
on it. At that point I should have just got up and took a break for 5
min but well long story short...FAIL
So good luck and I will guess your number will be 16342.

There's a good steak place near Raleigh airport...Getting a monster
steak and some crab is a good way to start the relaxation process :)
