I have a severe cold of the flue, I dont know, and my body feels weak and tire. I usually drink Red Bull when I need energy, but I have never tried it before an exam. My FAR exam is tomorrow, and I’m fighting to stay motivated and energized despite this freaking cold. I have been studying for 4 months and now I get sick one day before my exam.

What have you guys done in a similar situation?

I keep the caffeine light hours before the exam, and only have a full caf iced coffee right before I go in.

Redbull vodka in my locker… gets cracked open during my pre SIMS mandatory pee break.

It's actually just redbull. I do feel that when I step back into the testing room after that break I feel that I put the MCQ behind me and that “this portion” is the only thing standing between me and a passing grade.

At that point I would have eaten 10,628,421 baby carrots and 598,490 cups of coffee in the months and weeks leading up to it, the red bull is almost celebratory.

my ritual is to drink a Rockstar before each exam. it's worked so far.

i definitely wouldn't recommend this unless you have a high caffeine tolerance. i've been trying to abstain from Rockstars because they're so bad for you (yet so good!), so my tolerance has dropped after tax season. to get used to it again, I drank 1 Rockstar a day for a week leading up to the exam.

I usually do coffee and a big lunch before the exam but I schedule my exam in the afternoon.

I also like energy drinks. Red bull (sugar free or total zero… the sugar one makes me feel nauseated), 5 hr energy, or a medium coffee before the exam are usually my picks.

My personal preference is to mix a 5 hour with water/Gatorade/Vitamin Water and sip on it for about 30 minutes ending 30 minutes before the exam (so, if my test started at 3:00pm, I would drink the mixture slowly from 2-2:30pm). In my experience, this prevents the “jitters” and helps me focus.

Same with Red bull, except I'll just get a bottle of water and sip between the red bull and bottle of water during the same time frame.

Coffee is my last preference.
