What does everyone's diet consist of before the test?
As usual, no significant change
What do you eat few days prior the test?
As usual, but less heavy things. (Fat, Meat) Things which are easily digestable
What is a good diet before the test?
I have no idea. But too much of something is never good.
What do you guys eat during or the morning before the test
As less as possible. Not too much coffee (makes me crap), something very sweet to get sugar into the veins, for better concentration (may be only placebo). Fresh Air is also important.
Also, what do you guys do for the last couple days? Study? Rest? Nothing? What?
Before tests I usually study until 7 or 8 p.m. Then relax, watch a movie or something. [/quote]

You're generally better off eating as healthy as possible the days leading up to the test and the morning of. Avoid heavily processed foods like frozen dinners and pizza (they'll sap your energy and ability to concentrate), and eat more protein for brain power. Don't make any last-minute changes to your diet that are significant, because your body can react badly, esp. with the extra stress of the test.
When I took my first GMAT, I was sick and feeling really lousy, so I ate a high-protein breakfast. I overdid it and got sick on every break! Needless to say there's a reason I call it my "first" GMAT!!
Go easy on heavy carbs, esp on test day, because they can slow you down as you digest them. Apples are great but bananas take longer to digest and can bring you down in the meantime. Avoid processed sugars as well, although if you need a boost during a break, a Snickers bar or some peanut M&Ms will give you both a little sugar boost and a protein boost from the peanuts. Don't do too much sugar, because when you're stressed it can more quickly and strongly affect your blood sugar levels, and if you crash during the test, you'll be hating life.
I'd bring a protein bar, nuts, an apple, water, and something like Cheerios with you for the breaks.
And one more rambly thought -- if you don't normally drink coffee, don't drink it the day of the test. If you normally do, then drink it. Go with what your body's used to.
Good luck!

And once in the test center I took a few minutes to get my head straight review a few more flash cards to get in rhythm and then off to the races.
