Wake up early
Energy drinks (these don't work for everyone, so don't take them straight before an exam unless you're sure they benefit you.)
Keep hydrated
Have breakfast

Just go to bed at 9:00pm the night before... Energy drinks / waking up early does nothing.

I've always found that keeping hydrated, having a healthy breakfast, waking up early and preparing yourself through last minute revision keeps me sharp. I've never drank energy drinks and I maintain a sharp mind throughout.

Whatever happened to a good night's sleep and a bit of healthy eating?

1) Go to bed early.
2) Wake up earlier than usual (so you don't rush if a problem occurs), makes you feel more alert.
3) Have a good breakfast, where you consume high protein and carbs like peanut butter and bread, nuts...
4) Have caffeine like green tea, energy drinks, coffee...
5) a cold morning shower always helps to. (if not wash your face with cold water!)
6) I'd also say a morning walk is a good idea (unless you already walk to school)

You have to get some sleep, at least 4 or 5 hours.
Have a really good breakfast.
Drink water.
Drink relentless or monster.
Eat snickers.
Have a shower.
Don't stress yourself too much during the hours leading up to the exam, you don't have to spend every minute revising, just keep cool.

Alcohol is better for this purpose to be blatantly honest. Mix it with water and you probably won't get caught.

If you're going to have energy drinks, you might as well have alcohol. You become hyperactive and miss out on important things just like majmuh24 did.

Perhaps you could try a cup of tea instead? Still a dosage of caffeine and it has a few pro's.

OP, I'd advise ignoring AlphaNick, especially his comment about alcohol. Get lots of sleep and stay hydrated (water)

Not sure if your being sarcastic or actually offering advise.

Wake up early day before exam, obviously revise day before exam but try to be active in some ways, have a healthy dinner full of protein, go bed early, wake up as naturally as possible, have a healthy breakfast (something like eggs is good), and try to remain stress free. Keep hydrated throughout. I personally do not benefit from having energy drinks

I'm not being cocky I'm just saying that drinking energy drinks is careless... I was joking about the alcohol obviously to bring about the metaphor of what you will be doing if you down an energy drink prior to the exam. It makes you careless, as exemplified earlier.
