All nighter or not? (1 Viewer)

[Sidekickk]

So, I have an economics exam tmr and i know roughly half the content at best. Do you guys suggest that I stay late (ie.3am) to cram? Note: I don't want to pull an allnighter because it's a horrible experience and I have a 4unit exam the following day. Advice?

Edit: the exam is 40% of my school mark

If you've got time to study tomorrow, go over everything as much as possible, and get a good night sleep. You'll retain more.

If no time to study, stay up, learn it, then get some sleep. Hopefully, it'll stay in your head.

IMO, a good night sleep can do wonders for stress the day before exams. However varies greatly and sometimes cramming works very well with some people.
From my experiences, if you don't know your content well, it might be better to stay up learning them... but MAKE SURE you get SOME sleep in!

CRAM CRAM CRAMMM CRAMM!!! stay up all night!!
that is only if you have the energy to. Just sleep for 20 minutes then study all night. Then drink coffee when you get to school. But dont do this all the time. Coffee helps you stay alert in the short term lol

sleep helps with memory retention though

Definitely not staying up, but I suppose some people can do late nights. I excessively studied for an exam to keep my first ranking in Business Studies, staying all up night and when the actual day of the test came I knew the information needed to answer but I couldn't put it on the paper because I went I guess kinda blank? I felt everything I was writing wasn't answering the question and stupidly, I didn't read the question properly... ah wells... :/ I learn't my lesson. I didn't do well for it.

Dunnno about you guys, but for the first time a couple weeks ago I went to bed early for an english exam that was the next day. Did not work at all. Forgot everything.

For me cramming works haha. So many all nighters and lesson has not been learnt.

Also, how'd you go OP?

^This. But for me I miraculously did well. However I really wouldn't suggest it.

They work for everything except maths
unless you are attempting to "memorise" the whole course in one day
(did that for year 11 eco yearly. lulll, forgot everything)
