Red Bull + Propel (During the test, if possible).

This is just like a peripheral thing in addition to studying.

propel? whats that?

i've found red bull to be pretty useless during tests. I tried it on my school finals.

Thats the point of red bull lol. If you drink it, make sure you arent planning on sleeping for the whole night because you wont be able to.

I don't think red bull works with me anymore. After junior year, i realized i can chug a red bull in less than 10 seconds and be able to fall asleep, without any sort of problem, within an hour. I did get a 780 verbal without red bull, though.
