      A very important maths exam is coming up, which I absolutely need to pass - lots of algebra and whatnot. However, the test will either be on a Tuesday morning, or a Thursday afternoon :sigh: so to improve my mental stimulation, brain activity, and concentration, do I load myself with caffeine (for example a can of Red Bull) so I'm awake and alert, or just try to get good nights of sleep before the exam, and hopefully pass it? As it's algebra, it would be helpful to be able to study my answers without shaking and craving more of the sweet drug and not make any silly mistakes, but I don't want to be dead on the day I do the exam and not be able to concentrate at all.

        As a lifetime caffeine addict who started his addiction by splitting a full jar of Vivarin (pure caffeine tablets) every night in high school to get through the dinner rush at a pizza joint, I recommend a good night's sleep. Yes, caffeine has its uses, but concentration isn't one of them. If you're moving - cooking pizza, back then - it helps to keep moving when you're dog tired. But if you're sitting, trying to use your brain, it's worse than useless. Study hard this weekend, do lots of practice problems, then put away the books Sunday night and know that you are as prepared for the exam as you can ever be. Good luck - algebra is the end of arithmetic, and the beginning of math. And it's much more important to understand it than to simply cram and pass a test. By the way, assuming you plan to continue studying math, a funny thing happens when you hit calculus. You look back and wonder why algebra, geometry, and trig were so hard, because they all seem so easy from that lofty height. But, conversely, you won't comprehend calculus until you wade through those three and survive them. Strange... But once you understand calculus (and a bit of physics) the world you see and live in is a completely different place from what the rest of the herd call reality.

            One of my lecturers gave us a long talk months before our finals on the use of caffeine. Basically what he said was "Drink coffee or take stimulants and you will find you can stay up late in to the night. However when you come off it you will drop!" I took his advice and steered well away from it - in the end I did better than I thought I would. My tip would be to aim more for improving your memory than extending the time you can cram information into yourself. I used a mnemonic system and it stood me in very good stead. Basically stay off the caffeine as you will either be tired or on edge like a crack addict when it comes to the exam and what you want to be is relaxed (stay off the bong too). And Good luck ;)

                  Thanks for the offer but I'm okay on the learning front - it's just the actual preparation for the exam that I need to work on. And thanks :) Regards, --Perspx
