If your study regime was good enough throughout the semester, you shouldn't need to cram. I can't be ed looking them up now, but quite a few studies on 'cramming' have often shown that the can be a negative effect on memory retention, especially under stress. |

Never pulled an all-nighter for study. I'd rather get a nights sleep and study less.
One girl I know used to do that though - stay up the night before each exam studying, drinking redbull and being sick. It seemed to work for her, except when we had one exam on a Monday and the next on a Tuesday. :nervous: |

| I'm not really the study type. I do as little studying as possible for the most part. |

I did 12 weeks worth of 3rd year financial accounting in 6 days once.
Got a distinction. :stongue:
Tried it the next year, got a p1 :(
(p1 = 55% or so)
Cramming is seriously gay. It makes me so stressed I want to kill myself. The bad thing is, I do it, every semester. At the start of every term I say, "ok this has GOT to stop". Then I just don't do anything for 8 weeks... |

up until about 4am for final geology exam. Got a couple of hours sleep in the front of the car rather than drive an hour each way to go home. Opened the exam paper and realised how simple it all was, that my efforts in studying were completely unnecessary.
still, better to have made the effort and not needed to than to have not made the effort and flunked the subject.
had much longer hours working some projects than anything done at uni though |

All nighters if approached correctly can at times yeild good results. It requires a right mental approach though, and it's important to stay alert. Often if the exam is a biggy then the worry about falling asleep during the actual test isnt really an issue since adrenaline will kick in once you've sat down.
Eat slow release energy foods such as bananas and porridge to keep yopur mind burning and drink fluids to keep you hydrated and alert. Caffine can help, but it can also cause massive energy dips once it wears off. |

oh man I know exactly how you feel, yesterday me and friend had to study for a math test, we both popped a pill of adderall (20 mg) and we were ing glued to the ing books from 8pm till like 4am. Which leads me to this question:
I know adderall is stimulant drug for people with "add", but my friend said that it also helps a normal person concentrate better like when there studying and stuff, and thats the problem that i basically have i love to procastinate and when i do start studying i love to do multiple things at one (aim, music, downloading music, chatting) so basically my question is, by taking adderall once or twice a every couple of months to study for big tests, will that have some kind of negative effect on me, since i dont have "ADD"? |
