My finals start exactly 7 days from now. There's a very dense and annoying specific course that has been making me procrastinate and just feel anxious all day long.
I've got 5 finals to study for. I completely finished studying for 2 courses completely, mastered 50% of the third course, and 2 courses remain.
Of those 2 that remain, one is 400 slides big. I have started studying it yesterday and finished 45 slides so I got ~350 slides left.
Now my plan is to drink two energy drinks and drag it out for at least 8 to 16 hours, going through every concept and finishing it tonight it's 3:00 AM here, I plan to study till 7:00-8:00 PM, in semi-one drag (minimal breaks).
It's just one push and it's going to completely nail this course for me and guarantee I will pass it, but I am so damn lazy and feel drowsy just thinking how drowsy I will get as the time drags on.
Fuck it, let's go? Do it?

studying for more than a few hours a day is totally useless

What's the maximum "sweet spot" number?
What if I cram for just 5 hours tonight and sleep?
I am willing to do this the best I can.

>I'm too lazy to have prepared for my exams and now don't know what to do.
I won't read yet another such thread.

There is no reason not to. All you need is caffeine and minimal distractions. I believe in you, anon

all nighters are counter-productive for cramming for exams, since you'll be useless the next day, and it's really not possible to just study all night and retain information. All nighters only make sense if you have to get an assignment done for a deadline and then you can crash out afterwards. But if you're going to have to sit down and take a closed-book exam then doing all nighters beforehand is probably the worst thing you can do.

You have a week. Set a proper study schedule for each day, and go into your exams well rested and as prepared as you can be. You went to class and took notes all semester right? Just study your outlines and you can do it.
