This has been the week of all nighters. I think I've pulled like 2 in 4 days. I don't know when one day ends and the other begins.

For all of you that have already graduated college. Any insight? There is a 24 hour starbucks down the street so coffee is always easy to come by. I get till about 5-6AM then bonk hard.

I've started eating like it's day time. Treating 12 AM like lunch time. 3pm is a snack, and breakfest is well...breakfest. Lots of water and a multivitamin too...

Regardless, I still feel like I'm dreaming. (not in a good way) and I'm going to take this accounting final semi-drunk....

TVM, Acid Ratio, Earnings per share, P/E ratios, Liquidity, Bonds, Stock Dividends, Capitalization, Additional Paid in Capital, Cash flows aggghhhh...

Here is a tip... Go to sleep. If you don't know it by now you arent gonna get it.

Accounting is easy. Debits on the left, credits on the right

Sleep is key.

I would study for a few hours then take a nap. Retention is suppose to be better if you sleep right after studying. Worked for me. Dean's list most semesters.

When I was in college, my last exam of my senior year, I stayed up all night studying & drinking coffee. I drank a whole Box 'O Joe from Dunkin Donuts that night. So sick.. and I love coffee. I almost didn't make through the test. In retrospect just going to sleep would have been better.

I know it's already daytime and the night's gone, but for all of you collegiate monkeys who will be doing this in the future, take note. I was given this tip by some architecture students at my school (they are known for doing several AN's a quarter), stay up all night and take a 20-30 minute nap just before dawn. You'll go to sleep when it's dark and wake up when it's light, tricking your body/mind into thinking you got more sleep than you really did.

And yeah, I hate financial ratios too, waste of my time.

i ALWAYS pick sleep over studying. assuming you kept up with the reading and went to class you probably know the stuff already. as for papers, get them done early. otherwise

19 hours of sleep later, I feel much better.

And for the whole "do it ahead of time" peeps...it doesnt work for me. I work 30+ hrs a week and race at a "kind of high level" in mtn biking...plus the snow always calls...priorities, priorities.

I always took sleep over cramming too. You'll be surprised what you can remember when you're not in a sleep deprived fog during the exam.

The only time I chose no-sleep all nighters in college was for a paper that was due the next day and my computer "lost" a lot of work on me. My roomate kicked the power cord out of the computer and had not saved in a while.... So dumb.

An exam is about attitude preperation as much as studying. Well rested people do better than jitterey monkeys with no sleep Good luck man.
