Basically what will happen is they will give this tiny bottle of orange drink.. they give you 5 mins to drink it (though some people say 3 so it might be 3 where you are at)... then you sit around for an hour and they draw blood..

I dont think you will puke unless you have extreme nausea issues...  I was terrifed for the test but to be honest, it was not nearly as bad as I expected....  The drink is kind of gross since its alot of sugar but its pretty small...  You cant drink anything else after you have it (no water) and they also dont let you talk.. While thats what the instructions said, I still talked a little bit...  I think people more often puke on the 3 hr test because #1 its more sugar  #2 you usually have to do it on an empty stomach #3 you have to sit around for 3 hours....

Make sure you eat something before you go... I had peanut butter toast just so I was not empty.. I know alot of people seem to fast before hand because they are worrying about failing but chances are unless you are going to be on borderline the food wont put you over....  I ended up with a 6.1 on the test and the cut off for passing i believe is like 130 or 140
