Should I take the CCENT test in the morning or evening?

This is it, I'm planning on scheduling my appointment for my CCENT on the 2nd of June. But the thing is I'm not sure if it would be best to take in the morning or evening...say 2pm. I would like to attend class first so I can go over a few things. I guess I just want to know if there's a difference between going early in the morning vs going at 2-3pm.

    There's not going to be any difference as far as the testing center is concerned. So it boils down to you. I can understand you want to make sure you've got everything dialed in, we all do. But if your not ready for the test in the morning what concept are you going to grasp in a few more hours?

    If your not ready see if any dates are open the following week or in a couple of days.

    Good Luck on the Exam.

    Yea your right. I doubt taking a few hours to go over some things was going to help anyways lol. But I went ahead and scheduled it at 10:45 on June 2nd. I sure hope my 6 months of studying has paid off. I'm excited and nervous at the same time lol.

    Good Luck man. I scheduled mine for 11am trying to stick with my normal schedules.
    I didn't want to go to early and rush but I didn't not study that morning at all.

    I feel like it's better to try and find a way to relax that morning.

    Good luck! That's usually the time I try and schedule my tests at. It gives me a chance to sleep in a little later than usual and take my time getting into the testing center. Not to mention that when you finish, it's lunch time and you can have a good meal afterwards!

    I used to recommend to my men, if you have testing to do, do it in the morning and don't try to overload on what you already know. Also, try to stay away from the alcohol the night before and don't drink to much caffeine in the morning before your test, make sure you are wide awake and fresh.

    OP, you'll be alright man, everyone gets nervous. I usually do my test's about the same time 10:00 ~ 11:30. It's not the first thing in the morning, so you have time to collect your thoughts. But not late in the day either when other things can distract you from your objective for the day, which is passing the exam.
