Sleep!

Study an extra hour or two and then get up in the morning early. I seemed to do best when going to bed at almost normal time and just getting up earlier.
The ones who pulled all nighters seemed to be the ones who bombed.

Had a psych professor years ago tell me that if you're gonna get less than 4 hours, you might as well just stay up.

It depends on if you will wake up in time. I was never convinced I'd wake up in time so I usually stayed awake. Don't do it for more than one day. I had two all nighters back to back once and the writing I had up on the white board started dancing around.

Also, try sleeping at the SLC. It's open for mids now right? I've slept at the SLC twice and it's always interesting. Drunk people showing up during finals at the SLC is always good fun

All nighters work great, if you're a freshman trying to brag to your high school friends how hardcore your sub-2000 level LSU curriculum is.

I have 2 roommates who have the same exam and they won't let me oversleep.


And it's grad school. I miss the SLC late nights in a weird way.

All nighters are OK if you're just reviewing material for a huge test. Trying to learn something is useless while you're that tired, or wired.

Get some sleep. All nighters will not help you learn material.

I always went to sleep if studying. I pulled 1 or 2 all nighters, but it was actually working on a project. If you don't know the material before, you're not going to "learn" it from studying all night.

frick, I don't miss those days. I've always done better with a few hours sleep versus none.

Neuroscience and histology.

Like people said it's mostly review, we've been tested on all the material before it's just essentially the final for the courses.

Eh I'm feeling better now. Probably will wind up with 4 hours or so. It's only 2 hours then I can go home and sleep.
