I think I've srsly developed a tolerance to caffine.
I can drink 6 cups of coffee in a half hour before bed, and the moment my head hits the pillow I'm asleep (except when I dream about fountains and have to get up and pee at 4am)
lovely....

anyway, i quit drinking coffee in year 11, when ever i drank heaps of it to do assessments i would think it was a brilliant essay at night, then in the morning id look at it and it was lik what was i thinking?

Green tea ftw for HSC! im living on the stuff

I'm reading about Ionian Revolt. Again. Because. They've never asked about it. And I hate it. So, they'll ask it.

I want to party

Say you needed a pick me up between two exams in one day, what would be best for that, other than a good nights sleep before.

V, Mother, Coffee, Sports drinks etc ?
V would work best for me in that situation.

as much as i don't like admitting this: antidepressants are the best to prevent anxiety in hsc exams

i wonder if they'll drug test the students before they go into the exam in future years?
sort of like doping in sports

anyway- I'm told if you're between exams and you need energy- pick up a fruit with a lot of vitamin c in it like a mandarin, orange or maybe juice like grapefruit juice or something

apparently it shall work alot better than tea or mother because it sustains energy longer

I knew someone who drank two cans of V before going into an exam like two years ago and after about an hour was completely burned out
so NOTE: no matter how much crap you drink, YOU NEED SLEEP!

Go to a servo and buy caffine pills, althoguh I wouldn't reccomend doing this too often. One pill is eqivalent to 12 cups of coffee, althoguh yo ucan get other strength ones i think.

And No-doz plus is shit, they charge you more and it doesn't do any more than the normal no-doz.

I know my brother once got these caffeinated mints from some sort of gaming thing
(probably invented for people who play WoW all night)
but they do jack all.

I don't rely on caffeine to keep me alert :) I love tea and coffee, but I don't need them to stay awake in exams.
