Ideally...I should wake up at 2pm

+1

Realistically though, I'll have to get up ~1:00 at the latest =[

But I like the idea of watching a movie - will be a great distraction, so afterwards I can concentrate even more. I dunno, sounds like a paradox, but it works.

does drinking V before the exam help..?? especially knowing that i am gonna be too drained to do an exam at 3pm

Yes, if you wanna go to the toilet during your exam and blow 5 minutes

Yes...
It contains a shit load of caffeine and stuff which will shoot out of your body.
Energy drinks are stupid.

Its as much caffeine as a cup of coffee.

Red bull is nice, alternatively you could get those small energy drink shots.

They contain the same amount of caffeine but much less water so you don't have to go to the toilet after having them.

You could always also pick up some nodoz from the pharmacy but they seem to keep me awake in a different way from energy drinks.

caffeine is a diuretic so regardless of whether or not theres much volume of other fluids in the can itll drag out the water already stored in the muscles and organs of your body.

Just make sure you've tried these energy drinks before. The once and only time I've tried, I couldn't sleep for 2 nights in a row... Def's not what u want in this period of time.

That they work for someone doesn't mean they would work the same for another.

bio was at 3pm, and I found a movie calms the nerves, I watched Tropic Thunder


Ideally, I would have wanted the middle session: sleep in a bit, but you also don't worry about the exam for like 5 hours before

last year i had an exam in the afternoon, but got to school at 8 cause i couldn't get dropped off any other time. i spent the day reading (for fun) in the library, spoke to my teacher briefly, spent, like, 5 minutes looking up one last thing, sending emails, then i went and visited the little kids in the primary school, helped them with their readers, and watched the start of chicken little before going to my exam, and got an a plus.

basically if you've prepared well don't bother to study in the morning. it's not going to help much. maybe flick through some stuff to get 'in the zone' but that's all.

True, I find that when i try and remember more things on the morning before the exam, I tend to forget more.
