I agree with most of what is written here, but I do happen to think that studying long hours and cramming will be of more help than it will detract from your exam day performance. You are unlikely to sleep more than a few hours pre exam due to nervousness anyway, and the exam day adrenalin (and caffeine dosing) will carry you through almost regardless of how much you slept. You may commit a handful of mindless errors, but I think you stand to benefit a lot more from really hitting the material hard in the last few days (and nights). Especially if you have left studying late and still have a lot of ‘low hanging fruits’ to pick, every additional hour spent studying will likely translate into additional marks. Until you walk in the exam room you can always be learning more and improving your performance.

@Marek – I agree. What I meant by cramming is that if you’ve got a concept you’re still not getting, just memorize what you need to know for the next 48 hours or so. We’re not endorsing staying up all night – which is another point in the post!
@SacredSloth – you probably would be OK with a mechanical pencil – make sure the lead is #2 or HB. A battery is OK, but as @mattyj said in another thread, replacing it is not as straightforward, and trying to replace it under pressure during the exam is worse…
@swift they don’t have to be identical – they just have to be the allowed ones. -
