The test is just drinking a bottle of fluid and then waiting an hr. After that they take your blood work. The 3 hr test is the same just a 3hr wait.

I had to fast for atleast 8hrs and it took 2 hrs to finish completely. If you fail you'll have to take the 3 hr glucose test. Try to get a drink that's cold it's easier to handle that way
