Just remember...
Drink lots of water
Make sure to drink a lot of water — being hydrated is one of the best things you can do to prepare. Drink:
- 6-8 glasses the day before your test
- 2 glasses 30 minutes before your test
Fast for eight hours
It’s important to fast to get a more accurate sample — doing it in the morning before breakfast works well.
Set aside enough time
We recommend giving yourself about 30 minutes to complete the whole process — especially if it’s your first time. Don’t worry, collecting your sample should only take about 5 minutes.
