Did this study take into account at all, that the majority of students who felt they needed to stay up all night to prepare, probably weren’t the best students to begin with?
All nighters are NOT for studying. All nighters are for finishing papers and projects that are due the next day, and that you should have gotten started on way earlier.
Here is the best way to take a test:
______________________________________________
Elaine: What did you get on your SAT’s?
George: It varies.
Jerry: You know, I don’t even know my IQ.
Elaine: Mine’s 145.
George: 145!
Jerry: Get out of here!
Elaine: You get out of here!
Jerry: You get out of here!
George: You should take the test for me.
Jerry: Well, that would be something, cheating on a IQ test. Hey, remember in college when you passed Lettick the test out the window? You became a legend after that.
George: Yeah, yeah I really had some guts back then. Why wouldn’t we do that again?
Elaine: What?
George: You could take the IQ test for me. I could pass it to you out the window.
I can cite one exception to this whole thing. If you have been missing classes, or have not yet read the material, a last minute cram is definitely better than just winging it.
I was lucky enough to be a full time student and not have to work. I was spoiled during my freshman year......2.8 GPA
But the next year I became friends with some graduate students who seemed like they partied all the time and I learned their secret.
If you are able, you treat school like a full time job.... ie 8:00 to 5:00 every day. No class, head to the library and study, read your text book, re-write class notes, just nothing but school work. Come 5:00....party time. I tried it and it worked, even on days before major tests or finals, I’d be at the local pub till closing time.
Dean’s list from then on....graduated with a 3.7
