energy drinks are fucking brilliant! i seriously regret not discovering their power before year 12 began. when i drink one, i get a massive surge of energy which just helps me to write and write and write (bit like the energizer battery). seriously, i had no clue for a question in my economics exam but thanks to the mother i had that morning, i was able to just splurge out a whole lot of bullshit that sounded good, and i was awarded 4/6 marks. :)

Oh, and apples are a good energy food too!

Apples keep you awake better than coffee, especially in the mornings. A tip courtesy of Libra odd spots.

Idiot. You can't take anything other than water in a clear container into the exam rooms.
Double idiot. For trying to be funny with your alcohol, Coke and water. (I hope you're trying to be funny anyway. It'd be worse if you were being serious.)
Triple idiot. For thinking you can end a thread in such a manner.
Quadruple idiot. Troll.

I do not recommend it at all. you must eat a balanced diet and get adequate sleep, no amoubnt of caffeine or guarana or whatever crap is in those drinks will help you.
I am now a teacher myself I did my HSC in 2002 and I did it and regretted having the stuff. I used to eat chocolate covered coffee beans! I use to start shaking sometimes I had that much caffeine and it did not make me think any better.
Just keep studying and get sleep!

On the weekend I saw someone make a spider using V instead of creaming soda. It was disgusting.

I really don't know why anyone would want to take energy drinks at all. There's a reason many schools prohibit them.

Instead of taking loads of caffeine, you can actually not go out to parties around exam time, and sleep before midnight. That works well enough for me.

Stop excessively using exclamation marks. Water is the best, but it makes me go to the toilet a lot, I have the bladder of an old person during exams. :hammer:

I had an energy drink and wrote 10 pages for Modern History with limited to no study throughout the whole year. So, they are pretty effective for me.

energy drinks give you a high, this lasts from 30mins to an hour before leaving you with less energy, meaning you buy another drink, sure drink the, then you too can run out off puff with two hours left in the exam
