The course and test weren't hard, but it was long. It was a 12 hour day start to finish, for the first PAL course. I was towards the end of the hands-on-testing though.

My advice is get plenty of sleep, don't eat too much at lunch, use protein/fat for snacks, and stay hydrated. Treat it like an all-nighter study session.
