I'm doing it as aswell! Or at least, I'll go to sleep at 4, and get up at seven, 3 hour sleep cycle and all that.

ah don't do that ... if you havent been ready for these exams the past 2 years then staying up all night isnt going to change it . The best thing anyone can do right is get their nights sleep. Sports and mental work require two very different kinds of energy . If you dont sleep tonight how will you sleep for any other exams because they come thick and fast for the next 2 weeks. Seriously man , you need to just go to sleep and not worry, im away myself . Good luck to you and to all with exams whatever approach yous are taking

Ah but, I have been preparing, more than likely I'll conk out 12:00'ish anyway, but I need to get a lot done, I just can't seem to remember anyway of it now, this is my first break all day! :P

Well it's 6 years since I sat the LC and I didn't do any late night studying then nor have I ever done for college exams, don't think I'd recommend it. My circadian rhythms are probably a bit messed up as it is so I wouldn't want to add to it. Good luck.

I have tried the whole all nighter thing before for college exams, and trust me it does more harm then good, you find yourself forgetting everything you have learnt except the stuff from five minutes earlier.

Also rebull is bad, it just makes you jittery and makes it so hard to concentrate, ginseng is great if you can get your hand on it.

to late at this stage probally, but you will learn more if you get a good nights sleep, wake up early and do a few hours study before the exam.

All Nighters are not a good idea but what would I know I've got it all ahead of me next year. I'll regret this post, I know.

Ah the old pre-exam jitters, this time tomorrow you'll be thinking what you were so worried about. Bit like your first ride.

wba88

i generally get 5hours sleep a night anyway so if i go to bed around 230 and wake at 630 i shouldnt be too bad. and apparently your body works in 4hour sleep cycles so im not too worried

Actually some people can get a LOT of work done in a night's cram session. It's what I did and I got more than enough points than i needed. It's not for people chasing medicine points but ye can't say that staying up all night is going to help some people.

Well if you never studied once in your life it would help you but in general over the course of the LC exams it will cause harm.

That's what I'm saying, for people not aiming so high (who more than likely have done pretty much nothing like myself) it is beneficial. For people aiming to do real well it is to be avoided as they would almost all study done and would just tire themselves for the exams.
