Advice you wish you had for exam day

I use melatonin just for those situations when I need to go to bed. I’ll be sure to take a slightly larger dose the night before. Might have me a fruity cocktail earlier in the evening to calm me down too.

I find that my body develops a tolerance for melantonin.. so I avoid it unless it’s absolutely imperative I get enough sleep.. and if you use it before exam day, try to get at least 7 hours with melatonin or else you might feel groggy.

I went out for a night of moderate drinking the night before my L1 exam. I had studied for like 2 weeks straight and needed to not think of the exam. Also slept like a baby that night. Strategy might not work for everybody though, so I can’t go on the record recommending it…
 
It’s pretty common to find it hard to sleep the night before the exam. Not sure what to suggest, but just to let you know that most people aim to get a good night sleep before the exam but precious few actually do.
For me, I found it hard to get to sleep the night before, but I did manage to get enough sleep so that between that and the adrenaline of taking the tests, I was able to deal with it and hardly noticed my late night until after the exam was over.
 
Advice. After all the hard work and hell that you’ve been through preparing for the exam, just let ‘God sort it out.’

I freaking just experienced this Friday night for the PRACTICE EXAM… are you kidding me? I cannot even begin to think what the night before the actual exam will be like. For a practice effing exam, I got one of the worst nights sleep ever. It almost makes me want to start another thread about just this. I have no problem falling asleep at all, but then come 3-4 am, BOOM a shot of adrenaline kicks me and I cannot rid myself of the lingering affects. The adrenaline got me through the exam for sure, but I would much rather have had a clearer mind than what I did. How the heck do you STAY asleep?!
 
I won’t sleep a blink. Even now, I’m already having difficulty sleeping. I’m just going to accept that’s the condition I’ll be in for the exam. If I do okay on the mocks with little sleep, then more power. Although my health mental and physical are starting to deteriorate exponentially like theta decay.
 
Does the “If you can’t make an intelligent guess pick the longest available answer.” advice really work?
