coffee before?

anyone here that does not support drinking coffee before the exam? Some people feel it may make you read to fast, any suggestions?

Do what your used to for the exam. I drank energy drinks often while studying for extended durations. I drank half an energy drink in the morning and half of one at lunch in my car.

I agree. Do what your use to. You don’t want to drink coffee or a red bull if your not use to it and then be jittery for an hour or two while your taking the test

I would agree with doing what you normally do, my concern is having to pee a few times as I typically do between 9 and noon. How much time does it take for a piss break, I mean I assume there is a process and you can’t just get up and sprint to the bathroom? (cause I think I could do that in under a minute or two easy!)

Timing not a huge concern. I took all the water/pee breaks I needed. However there was no line at either at the venue I was at. Don’t sweat it.

If you’re really concerned about using the bathroom, try one of those 5 hour energy drinks. They taste like shit, but get the job done.

how much caffeine in one of those things, is it comparable to coffee?

I remember the day when I took the Series 7, my friend drank a red bull before the test. I remember after the first part, we had a break and we went outside, he was asking me stupid questions. Like stuff I knew that he knew. The redbull def enhanced his anxiety, he was way to jittery. But I guess it’s just preference. I studied a long time for this test I think come test day I’ll be too nervous to fall asleep while taking the exam lol
