### Comment:
Breaking before the exam is a must. I read so much that the last two weeks before the bar my eyesight got super fucked. I couldn’t focus on words and had to practice very sparingly and then I didn’t read at all for a couple days beforehand so I could see during the test. I definitely went in much more clearheaded because of the breaks though.

Yeah, I got all fucked up before my STEP exam but it was more along the lines of 'man, I hate my life right now'. Worst mental health day I'd had in a decade. II ended up taking most of the next 5 days off and felt a ton better.
