So what is everyone's take on studying the night before for the exam the next day?
I mean, yeah, study weeks prior for the exams so you absorb alot.

But how much study should you do for the next exam the night before, if any?

The only studying I ever do the night before is practising essays, for the second last time (the last time being the morning of the exam).

because you feel tired and shit. generally if you dont study after 8 and get a good night's sleep, you are refreshed the very next day, and you will be ready for the exam.

i always tend to leave things to the last minute. but, whenever i've meticulously planned and studied for an exam i generally do worse than doing a last day cram. added focus perhaps.

Agree with all the others... the night before big exams I don't do much late at night... I might doa practice question if I'm really unsure, but I'll read over notes (only reading) and make sure I get to bed real early :D lots of sleep...

Depends really, if you've done enough practice beforehand then i would say you're far better off just reading over your notes slowly and in your own time than stressing by doing question after question.

For Maths I always sleep early.
For Physics I sleep late.
For English/Modern I sleep really late.
Maybe that's why I'm getting raped in English and Modern.. Hmm

Depends on what type of person you are, but sometimes I find that studying too much leaves you tired and braindead in the morning come exam time, which is worse.

Just study consistently and cram if it really comes to it.
