Is there any good energy drink for when you need to take a long test, like the SAT for example? (4 hours) 5 hours energy comes to mind but I've never tried it

No. Caffeine doesn't work for 4-5 hours. you'll just burn out halfway through the exam. Just eat some eggs and bacon in the morning and get a good sleep and you'll be awake as ever.

yeah, I know, though I tend to get stressed the night before the test and it's hard to get a good nights sleep. So I might need an energy drink. I don't care how burned out I get as long as I can last with my mind focused through the entire test.

You won't-- not with an energy drink. You'll burn up halfway through the exam and you won't be able to focus at all down the final stretch.

So there's basically no hope besides a good night's sleep?

No, not at all.

My prefered strategy is to study two hours a day three days before, like four hours the day before, go to sleep at 8, then wake up at like 5 or 6am and speed read notes and review casually.

I would say get the 5 hour energy before getting a energy drink. With the drinks you get a crash and the only thing you want to do is lay down, So i wouldnt recommend it. full night of sleep > drinks

Coffee is much better choice. Energy drinks are good if you want to talk crap.

Get a good night's sleep, a good breakfast, then grab a 24 oz sugar-free monster. Trust me, you'll be wired.

I just drink coffee 30 minutes before an exam, and that works great.

I actually tried caffeine before and during an exam. It failed me horribly :?
