    I am just wondering if you're allowed to eat during leaving cert exams? I couldnt find any threads about this and theres nothing on examinations.ie about it.

    Does anyone know?

    Yep you can eat, they can't expect you to sit there for 3 hours with a grumbling stomach!!
    Except make sure you don't eat anything noisy...ie; packaging, or crunchy food.

    This girl last week had a roll (yes, a whole roll!) in noisy, crackling TINFOIL!

    What I do is; have 3-5 crackers (Go-Ahead crackers yummy) shoved in my pencil case. I actually break them into thirds beforehand for a quick grab lol.

    Also, make SURE you bring water!!! Some people bring coke, do that if you prefer it but pray that a soda doesn't fizz up...embarrassing!!!! Hope this helped!

    You should have something that will give you energy and quickly. I brought in small twix bar, like 2 or 3, and I ate them when I felt tired. Also a bottle of water as well. I wouldn't really recommend energy drinks as you could crash and that'd be the last thing you want. Lucozade original might be okay but my friend had to bring in 2 red bulls into the exams as he knew half way through he'd crash and he'd need another one:pac:
