Last Saturday I wanna gave myself a mock GMAT experience. I woke up early and went to a public library to "attend" the exam using the official GMAT Prep
But I had drunk some red-bull before beginning the mock. Eventually, I just felt myself not working even with the Quantitative questions that I performed well last time.
So, personally I would recommend people who aren't get used to red-bull to have red-bull before the examinations. May be some of us can also share their experience here?

Hi universehk,
When planning out Test Day (and practicing for that specific 'event' during your CATs), it's important to be consistent. There's nothing inherently 'right' or 'wrong' about drinking a Red Bull before taking your Test, BUT you don't want there to be any 'surprises' on Test Day itself (and it sounds like you experienced a negative effect by drinking that Red Bull). As such, trying out different drinks/snacks/etc. during your practice is a good idea - so that you can figure out the perfect combination of items that will help YOU perform at your best - and then you can plan to use that same combination of items during the rest of your practice and on Test Day. Trying something *new* on Test Day itself often leads to a "bad" result, so doing so is generally not recommended.

Red bull or intense caffeine did the exact opposite to me. It was straight up bad news bears, I started zooming through the quant section THINKING I was getting everything right and everything felt great when in reality I was doing worse and making more careless mistakes. Careless mistakes are the absolute worst for the GMAT, the low hanging fruit questions will get you the biggest gains but biggest losses as well. Zico Coconut water did wonders for me in between sections, felt like it refilled my brain berries
