She is going to get confused now.. Here is what you should do, eat something with protein like an egg sandwich an hr or 2 before your test, then drink water. After i did mine, the lady told me i could have ate something beforehand.. I got pretty sick. Make sure u bring crackers for afterwards, just incase u get sick. I failed to bring crackers as well lol

I couldn't eat past midnight for the 1 hour test.
It's best to call and ask.
