Tea, toast and cereal worked for me. I think energy drinks should be avoided. I'd always study in the kitchen as well the night before exams for some reason. I never did a proper all nighter. If I had an early exam I would stay up until 4 or 5 and grab 2 or 3 hours sleep. My Dad worked nights at the time and would come home to find me at the kitchen table studying. He'd always try to shoo me off to bed saying I couldn't do well in an exam with no sleep. He was right. It was a tough few years on the study and exam front, 2 leaving certs and 6 years in college. Messing up my 1st leaving was a good incentive and I thankfully never failed a college exam. Thankfully those days are behind me!

Best way for energy I feel is to take twenty minute cat naps once every two to three hours. They work for a while. All nighters destroy me though, hate em. I prefer my sleep. Awful headaches the next day as well and I find my concentration levels are awful. Lots of tea and chocolate and the odd Facebook break helps me though them

I have only really worked overnight on essays.... But in terms of 20 minute naps, takes me in the direction of 5 hours to fall to sleep. So I don't think you're method would be workable for me.

I've done it a good few times before, be grand plenty of Monster and you'll do it no bother, even if you do get jitters during the exam
