Answer 1

Your brain remembers everything while you are sleeping. If you stay up all night your brain will hardly retain anything.

Answer 2

No got to bed and get up early, there are fewer distractions.

Answer 3

no way!! id say study throu the day but make sure you have plenty of breaks!! we had an exam talk at college a couple of weeks ago and she said to eat sensibly and drink plenty of water the week before and make sure you get enough sleep at night!! it helped me okay cos i passed my exam the next week!! good luck with it!!

Answer 4

Nope get some rest

Answer 5

no.it important to study hard and understand all subject and you must sleep 6hours on less.You`ll answer your exams. Don`t be afraid form exams.

Answer 6

You won't function at your best if you are overtired. I know from my own experience at uni!  You must sleep but make sure that your waking hours are structured, building in breaks too.  Have you tried going to your local library?  They might have the resources that you need or maybe you can find them online?  Best of luck in the exams.

Answer 7

First of all, calm down and think rationally!

Staying up all night will not help as you will just end up exhausted.  Are there any public libraries near you home? If so, make use of them.  If you still have a week, you still have time.  Devise a study plan and stick to it.  Prioritise which essays and exams must be done first.  dont allow yourself to get distracted. Get up reaonably early in the morning, and work hard all day, making sure you are taking regualr breaks!

good luck!!

Answer 8

how long have you had to prepare for these exams? you must be very worried, but don't panic, staying up all night and stressing about it will affect your performance during the tests. Because you only have one week, you may need to study hard (but during the day) and try revising at least 3-4 hours a day, with small breaks inbetween. Stressing about it is the worst thing you can do, make sure you get through everything by the day of your tests, and on the night before the tests make sure you have a good rest and relax, so you will be able to think more clearly during the tests.

Answer 9

If that's what you have to do, maybe you should- but take 'power naps' when you have to.  I have a bit of a similar predicament. I can only study for so long though & then I have to have a break or my eyes go all funny!!!!

Get it done

Answer 10

nooo you shouldn the longer you stay up your going get to tired so it aint gunna stick in your head you will get too bored of it just start earlir morning and do about 7 hours a day with breaks in between so it sticks in your head

Answer 11

Look , first relax, I understand you and I am in the same situation. I cried the saturday because I recieved two mails from my signal analysis teacher and my electromagnetic waves teacher telling that the exam is going to be TOMORROW morning!!! So I was really stressed. When I could finally calm down, I started studying and since yesterday i haven't stopped. But I do get good sleep and I just finished signal but, h**l I am going to get  a 5. I had 8 hours sleep, so when I got up I have all my energies and I can concentrate.

Just get some good sleep, at least 6 hours every day and when you are very tired of one subject and you are not getting anything then change the subject. It always work for me and I am not wasting time.

For example: I am taking a 30 minutes break.
