All Nighters. Good? Bad?
MathsBoy1995:
One time me and my buddy planned an all nighter, we ended up having a pillow fight and one thing led to another and next thing you know we were making out on the sofa

While I never did it for VCE, I've done it for pretty much every single exam/test/assignment that I've sat/handed in in uni, and it has worked WONDERS. Well, wonders for results, not so much for my mood and health. :D

I can't do them.
All nighters are pretty much the norm here, but for the past two or three weeks I've been sleeping about three or four hours a night in an effort to do my work (so not all nighters, but almost)... and it's been horrible. My grades have slipped as a result, and I've been constantly sick. Doing these long term really affects your efficiency - I was going to go to the library for ten hours sometime last week, stayed for six, fell asleep four times, and just gave up. I got seven hours of sleep last night in an effort to recover and I'm still not OK. Argh, please don't screw yourself over by not sleeping.

Actually, you're not doing them 'long'term enough. :P
I got 4 hours sleep a night from yr 9-yr 12. I was fine. :D Eventually you get used to it, although now I've returned to normal.

So has anyone ever tried it for a VCE exam? If so, how did you go, and did it help you? :D

it's actually pretty bad.
i did this for chem, (slept at 4:30am~, exam at 9, woke up 7:30, had been studying ~14hours, first time i'd looked at unit 4 since 2.5months)
forgot every single formula (or perhaps i hadnt learned it well enough?)
anyways only do it if it's really necessary
i felt slow during the exam - like i wasnt functioning well.
