<p>Has anyone ever brought something like a can of Monsterenergy drink, during the break to help them stay on their toes on tests? Does this work? Or does it actually cause you to focus less.</p>
<p>i brought red bull, and i had already had a cup of coffee that morning. i think it helped...</p>
<p>It really depends on how much caffeine you usually drink. If a person who doesn't usually drink any caffeine at all downs a Monster/Rockstar/Amp whatever they may get the jitters during the test and basically screw it up. For some people, it really helps with concentration though, even if only by placebo effect. I think the best way to concentrate on the test is to follow your normal routine, and add in maybe a little extra dose of caffeine :)</p>
<p>agreed with amb3r. i forgot to mention that i MUST drink coffee every single morning. lol.</p>
<p>wow, it's just now that I realize how awkwardly written the orginal post was.</p>
<p>Well for me, when I near the 3 hour mark, I get antsy, excited etc and find myself not paying 100% attention to the passage I'm reading.</p>
<p>GlueEater, join the club :)</p>
<p>It really depends. Even if you don't drink that much caffeine it could help, but you are the one who really knows.
For example, I don't drink coffee much, but when I DO drink it, it helps me concentrate and stay wide awake for hours without giving me jitters.. so it all depends really..</p>
<p>It was my 3rd time drinking red bull on the test day. I don't think it affected me at all on that day, but my CR improved unexpectedly lol</p>
<p>coffee, plenty of it :). Never drank Red Bull before, got to try it</p>
<p>go spike shooter</p>
