I have been debating myself about this for the last few years lol. I have final exams tomorrow. Whats the better idea?
A) stay up late and study more, but get less sleep
B) go to bed early and study less but get more sleep
i'm already behind on sleep so i don't see really how one good night would help or anohter late night would hurt much more

your problem is u are craming, that will never work. i started my exam studies 2 weeks ago, u should have started atleat 1 week ago. in order for your body to function properly u need 8 hrs of sleep. also eat a breakfast. if u do plan to stay up all night, remember that a human being can only consentate on one thing for 20 min.. so study fpr 20 min. then take like 5/7 min. break and go back to studying
if u have been dealing with this for a long time, why did u not cahnge waiting till last min??
so it up to u, but if it were me, i would go to bed early, and study in the morning, so that my brain is fesh, also if u have a lot to study. then study and know at least one thing about the major parts, so you know something about everything. also before u study mark off what u know, so then it will narrow down what u have to study.
gd luck on your exams!!

Look if you are giving exams for maths ,physics e.t.c. which need a lot of thinking and not so much knowledge better go sleep so that u will be able to think.If it is history or something like that u stay and study but you must at least sleep 3,5 or 4 hours because you wont remember anything from what you ve studied.
All these that i am say are in case you havent studied all the thinks you had to and of course in case you have study a lot less.
In other case (f.e. 75% or 80%) better go sleep.
I agree with Naha B that you better do your study at morning because you will have to rush and u gonna study more.But yoy wont know if you gonna need more time.So better be sure about how much time you need to do this.
Also i agree with the good breakfast with a lot of sugar.Your brain will need energy and sugar gives that and your body too.Avoid drink a lot of water,or juice e.t.c..They are gonna make you want to pie and you wont want to go because youwill have the exams.

I've seen no difference on how I do on tests in comparison to how many hours of sleep I get. So I say stay up studying and just get at least 6 hours and drink coffee before the test, also be prepared to crash later in the day. That's what I'm doing during exams!

The answer depends upon your studying style and sleep patterns.
I have not had much success with late night cramming. I tend to prepare early and get plenty of rest. I know other than claim to achieve great results with the late night studying.

well, it all depends on if u know the stuff (wat u r taking the tests on) or not. if i knew the information, i would of course get more sleep and if i didnt i would study a little harder. it all depends if u trust urself or not, do u think u'll get a good score, or do u think u need to study? becuz i dont know this situation, study before you go to bed, when u wake up, and if u can right before the test. that is the best way to study. that is wat i do, and it works pretty good. i wouldnt spend more that an hour and 1/2 "over studying". just go to bed normally, or if u need to, a little later. if this doesnt work, i am SO sorry!!! have a good rest of the day and good luck on ur tests!!!

On my exams this year I stayed up about the same time as I usually do, but I woke up just a little earlier and refreshed my memory.................But it really depends on how well you think you know the stuff. If you know it pretty well, I would probably do my suggestion, but if you have no idea what is going on, then stay up a bit later to study.

Ask yourself, "If I don't study, what are my chances of getting anything right on my final?". If you feel like you know enough, then go get some sleep.

You don't have to stay awake all night. just take your time to study and go to sleep when you're tired.
