tl;dr.

Don't change ur eating/drinking/sleeping habits right b4 exams.

If u drink coffee regularly, then drink coffee.
Otherwise, don't.
4 ppl who don't drink coffee, the caffeine hit mite b a bit excessive and induce jitters/nerves.
The adrenaline from the stress of the exam will b more than enuf 2 keep u alert, if that's wot u're worried bout.

Downing a no-doz with Red Bull is worse. Did that for the chem midyear and I was pretty shaky during the exam. But then again, I finished it unlike alot of people, and 20 minutes early actually, so perhaps it was all worth it =P
