So /sci/,

>what do you do the day before a big math exam?
If everything went as scheduled? Watch a movie.
>What do you do the week before?
Whatever I'm supposed to be doing, sometimes it's research or industry work, I'm to busy to predict I'll have to time to be studying.
>How long do you sleep the night before?
7.5-9 hours
>What do you bring to eat and or to drink?
Water with Vitamin C powder added (you can get >1kg for less than $5; always buy powder form of supplements if possible) if allowed and maybe a protein bar if it's >3 hours.
>Can you suggest some type of food or drink to eat/drink while the exam?
Nothing sugary, complex carbs is optionally, but protein is best. And water.

Minimize reliance on caffeine and other stimulants.

How much Vitamin C would you recommend per <span class="math">dm^3[/spoiler]?

I heard that less more than the avarage daily dose can cause diarreia and thats probably the last thing you want in an exam.

> what do you do the day before a big exam ?
ideally, nothing special, maybe brush up on the course material one last time

> the week before ?
Reread the lecture notes with a pen and paper to redo a proof if I'm not sure I get it, then reread the problem sets to see if I can still do them and work on the problems I've left out

> How long do you sleep the night before ?
I tend to be pretty stressed out (despite knowing it will probably work out) so, anywhere between 5 and 9 hours

>What do you bring to eat and or to drink?
When I passed the written entrance tests for my uni (6 4-hour long tests and one 6-hour long test), I brought a thermos bottle with green tea and a cereal bar or two. Now that my exams are 2-3 hours long and not nearly as stressful, I don't bring anything

It's water soluble, it really doesn't matter, any side affects you heard about is bullshit and due to the slight rise in acidity which can easily be regulated with a good diet and plenty of water.

I usually take around 100-200g per day with no sides.

Other thing you should consider taking is Vit B complex, but keep that near RDA range if only because it's more expensive.

It's just an exam. Try to learn your shit, repeat the stuff on the last day and all will be fine.

It depends. If it's a 90min exam, I try to get 5h sleep. If it's only a 20min oral exam, it's no problem if you only sleep like two ours. You will be so nervous in the exam that you won't be tired in the 20min.

>Week before exam
Redo exercises

Practise old exams

Have water and one or two bananas during exam. Water because you don't want to be thirsty that's just shitty, bananas because they have a substance that helps concentration and also contains sugars for your brain.
