so because of your one experience you are saying that all ppl who do allnighters are too fatigued?



i did a few, but only for classes where it was straightforward memorization questions. i made flashcards and ripped through them over and over and over and over. scored a 97 (the one Q i missed actually ended up being thrown out as well ) on my last one.

depends on the class. if just a regurge, then i am all for allnighters. if the exam requires any sort of analytical thought, rest up and hope you studied well beforehand.
