I have a 4 hour break between my first and second exam, is it a bad idea to study between those exams? Thank you

I would say so. It's just going to be cramming and you're likely to forget most of it anyway; the best thing imo to do would be to get some rest before the second one. Well, that's what I'd do anyway.

Personally, I flick through my notes about an hour before the second exam, just to get myself into the right mindset.
Also, make sure you eat something.

Depends if you are screwed or not for the exam :P If not, don't study much, just flick through notes, listen to music, feel comfortable.

If so, I'd be slamming as many prac exams as humanely possible :D

^Keep calm & go play something between. There's no point cramming like, on the day on exams.

UNLESS YOU GO TO UNI. Now I know what it truly means to do an 'all nighter', due to insane stress that is end of semester exams.

Believe me, if you're screwed, there is a great deal you can accomplish in 4 hours. I've done this first hand for a vcaa exam, it works.

Make sure you get alot of rest between those 4 hours, doing an exam can be quite tiring so eat something and then maybe just take a short nap. In general, just stay refreshed and make sure you're not tired/burnt out for the second exam.

Good luck!

You've got 100% tute and lecture attendance. I know you haven't needed to cram considering the marks you got. An all nighter is not staying up till 12am LOL.
