i would not encourage anyone to try 5hour energy on exam day if you have never tried it before! It can make you jittery and that's something i would not want to risk. Try it once before to see its effects. For step1, I had an energy drink (I personally like the rockstar kind) in the locker and I would sip on it inbetween when I took a break...to keep my energy levels up. good luck

Monster is a lot of caffeine (rockstar is more "natural" vitamins) so if you finish it all, there will be a peak of energy and then you will hit a low. that was my experience. so better to pace and drink slowly. good idea to test it out. everyone is different. good luck!!
