<p>so im a junior and i took the sat for the second time today. the first time i took it without any energy boosters other than snacks but this time i had a different idea. i bought a monster energy drink and drank it after part 6 (with about an hour and a half left) when i began to get tired. i believe it maintained my focus for the remainder of the test and i didnt feel a crash. keep in mind, i dont have ADD or anything, i just get tired and restless after a 4.5 hour test. has anyone else done this in the past?</p>
<p>Maybe it was the placebo effect :P</p>
<p>I should try this next time. This was my first time taking the full SAT (I’ve taken plenty of practice tests but I usually break it up) and I was losing a little bit of concentration around Rounds 8, 9, and 10.</p>
<p>I had a nice strawberry banana smoothie this morning. It was quite delicious.</p>

<p>Shouldn’t the title be “Effect” not affect. Correct me if I’m wrong…</p>
<p>give the guy a break…he will learn when he uses “affect” and “effect” wrong at Harvard…</p>
<p>or maybe its still the lasting effect of the energy drinks hes had…=x</p>
<p>when i took the test in january my proctor had the window open which i sat RIGHT in front of and it was very windy and around 30 degrees outside… </p>
<p>i was definitely awake during the whole test, you guys should try that sometime</p>
