    I normally drink 1 cup of coffee in the mornings to wake me up and help me concentrate….but by midday I am exhausted. I tried to cut out the coffee but it’s impossible for me to start my day without it! for two days now I have been drinking 2 cups a day, I;m studying for REG and BEC for the last week in November and I still have 7 more chapters to go! SO I have no time to waste! Because I am behind I cannot concentrate because all I am thinking about is not being able to finish and failing!!! I bought some vitamin B and ginkgo to help me to concentrate, hopefully it works!! ANY ADVICE??? What do you use to help you concentrate and stay awake? I NEED to finish and review all my chapters by the end of this month so I can pass. HELP!!

    I have probably shaved off a good 5 years of my life studying for FAR with all the caffeine I've put in myself. I'm doing 3-4 cups a day. Some nice GOOD, FULL nights of sleep is very necessary as well.

    Studies show that coffee reduces the chance of alzheimers and has many good antioxidants, so don't feel guilty for drinking it. 😛

    Oh, and drink it black, I find the sugars to quickly end the nice caffeine buzz I get going on. Turn off any distractors completely, unplug your tv from the wall, rip out the batteries of your phone, etc. Just keep thinking that soon enough, it will all be over and you can enjoy the holidays!

    You're on your final lap before the end of the testing period!

    Yes, but you have to learn your limits. Every one is going to be different, so there's really no advice to give on how much you should drink. If you come from not drinking much coffee regularly, then I'd say be on the conservative side… there's nothing worse than knowing you have to go to sleep and even feeling exhausted, but you can't help and just stare at the ceiling in bed.
