Your going a bit too far with his now! It's all well and good to make your own thread about it but we're talking about food here, not repeating! GO AWAY!!!!:mad:

A bowl of muesli in the morning is good for energy because it digests slowly and is full of healthy crap. But if you get a good night sleep the night before you shouldn't need to be planning an exam diet just to keep you going.

Spank

Crisps, an apple, a bowl of crunchy nut cornflakes, or even rice krispies. Be sure to listen and exclaim after each SNAP, CRACKLE and POP. Be sure to sit beside a power socket also for those microwave meals! Mmmmm.

Sure forget about the exam, bring a 5 course meal, pay the supervisor to serve you, turn the exam hall into a restaurant. Do the exam like you might do the newspaper crossword over breakfast.

jc, i shall bring large water and maybe wine gums

I'd never eat during exams. How would you have the time? I've just finished six years of college and in my last two exams used earplugs in exams. Only copped on to using them then:rolleyes: ****ing brilliant! Especially for large exam halls where it can be very distracting with all the noise.

Could look a bit suspicious bringing out a wrapper with nothing in it halfway through the exam. Reading notes in the jacks is the way forward for cheating I tells ya.

One of the "reasonable accommodations" that may be granted to candidates with special needs is, according to SEC documentation:

"Allowing candidates to take medicine, food or drinks into the examination centre where this is required for medical reasons."

The health of the country is apparently in a bad state if there are that many of you out there that need to get special dispensation to bring grub into an exam for medical reasons.

Just wondering what people have planned to bring into the exam hall (food and drink wise).

My plan:

• Bottle of Lucazade Sport (non fizzy)
• Bar of dairy milk chocolate
• Maybe a banana
• And peanuts

The last thing i want to be in the exam is hungry and thirsty....not the kind of things you want on your mind when you are going through a Kavanagh essay

EH are yo crazy there is no food allowed whatsoever in the exam roooms.you are only allowed to bring in water. trust me i d kno from lastyr.

Enemy Of Fate

I'm just going to bring in a few packs of Juicy Fruit (the real kind, not that strappleberry ****) and I should be fine.I remember in the Junior Cert mocks, a girl called Kayla Mc Devitt brought vodka with her into the exam!!She put it in a lucozade bottle and just kept taking chugs from it every few minutes.The teacher eventually smelled it when she went past her, and Kayla got suspended.....but not before they forced her to open her locker, where they found a full bottle of whisky!!What a stupid ***** she was!!

I'd never bother attempt to cheat in the leaving, i'd lose more marks worrying about getting caught etc. than i actually might gain.

yeah im taking my english exam in a diff room , Find it hard 2 concentrate !!! Gonna tell them in sick!

doria gray

Im going to put a bottle or two of water in the freezer the night before and take them out early in the morning so il have ice cold water melting throughout the exam and some mints yum yum

Assez Bien

Don't think you're supposed 2 bring anything food-wise in with you(not including water)...unless you stash it away in your 'see through' pencil case.

I'm a diabetic and i had to apply to d state examinations board cos if i want anything to eat (if i get the shakes) i have to leave the hall like i'm not allowed sit there n eat whatever. Bonus 2 this though is i get rest breaks if i feel the need.....joy!

qwertplaywert

ye need a see through pencil case?

You should eat before the exam but eat have the following to imrove your performance

(i) have a high protein breakfast/lunch - protein helps you to focus and you also wont end up having a big sugar crash half way through like if you fill up on pasta.
(ii) if you normally drink caffeine at certain times, do so anyway and slightly increase this amount before going into an exam (slightly!!!) as this is proven to increase intelligence short term.
(iii) bring an energy drink in if you want just in case you start to fall asleep half way through; dont be gulping away at it throughout the whole exam as you'll just start to have a sugar crash in the middle! Dont use this for hydration, make sure you wont go thirsty before walking into the exam as you can distract yourself by having this constant "stop and have a drink every 5min" psychology.

Above all, make sure your not hungry and do eat plenty; you need to look after yourself in exams, especially something as stresful as the leaving.

Op, think peanuts should be avoided because many people absolutely cannot stand the smell of peanuts..that could be very distracting..

the same goes with chewing gum..I think many people would find constant chewing very irritating in an exam!

But If people distract others during the exam, it gives them an advantage over others in this so called "rat race":)
Farting and acting like a fool(in a somewhat discreet manner)would aid the candidate.

Even though Im doing the leaving cert in 2 years time my teachers have promised me to make a cup of coffee or hot chocolate for the exams. I asked them nicely and they said yes. They werent joking.

A few of ye should do the same... They might do it for you.

And how will they get it into you, no ones allowed into the exam centre except the students who bring in snacks for the examinors..

Bring the cup with the coffee in with you into the exam? Obviously the teacher makes it for you before the exam starts. Sure its the same as a lucozade bottle. Cup, bottle whats the difference? If the exam supervisor is having a cup of tea which is made for them by the toilet supervisor guy (usually a 4th or 5th year student) why cant you have a cup of tea?

Sure when I was doing my junior cert exams last year I asked the supervisor for a biscuit and he gave it to me because my desk was right beside his big metal box of exam papers where the guy sits.
