When I was a Student I used to believe in last moment Preparations.I used to go on Revising and Studying How much i could till i reached my class doors.After that i would just sit on my bench and revise what i had studied.In the examination hall i never took rest I kept on Studying.I used to go on studying Whereas my friend used to rest as they believed that studying at the last moment makes you forget everything.
What About You Mylotters ?

I so much believe in last minute preparation. In fact, the should call me Mr. 11th hour lol!!! Its all because I'm worried that anything important can slip from my head. I don't think studying at last moment won't make you forget, the nervousness does.

I too am all for last minute preparations. When I have a presentation to give I will normally start the night before and work in the morning sometimes only a couple hours before the presentation. Sometimes I'm scrambling for poster supplies and printing things and I was late to one of my poster presentations as a result. I find that last minute preparation means I have everything in my head at the time of the presentation, but I do think I should start things earlier. Last minute cramming is very good.

I believe in last minute preparations because they work for me. It's not that I don't study seriously but I am better adept at getting over my studies when I have a feeling of adrenaline rushing over my body (don't know if is caused by stress, worry or whatever). Also, this practice makes me more focused rather than I had been studying for a whole week. My brain works theta way, and so far I got good results and I don't complain.

It depends from person to person. I like to do last moment studies but the people who replied to my Discussion mostly believe in preparing from the start.

I usually prepare for examinations in advance. But it does not mean that i would have completed studying by the time I reach the exam hall. For me, there must be a balance between relaxation and studying. Taking a break from studies is important. But if that is how you study and doing fine with it, why not?

Last minute revision will not work. This is also known as cramming. The reason is because before the exam date, there was no information stored in your brain, in this case, the studies stuffs. At the last minute, you suddenly put in a lot of information and trying to get them in within the next few hours. Can your brain take it? No right? Personally, I've tried it before and the damage was really bad. That's why, if possible, study beforehand and make sure to get all information you need before entering the 'war'. LOL. Good luck!

Preparing at the last minute for me actually did more harm than good. In fact, studying about two or three days before a huge exam was kind of pushing it. My mind needed to be relaxed, for the information to properly settle. So I could actually remember everything. However if my mind is still trying to make sense of the information, it is going to lead to some bad things.
There is nothing worse than blanking right in the middle of an exam. Where your mind refuses to remember anything. Nine times out of ten, it is caused by studying way too soon before the test. There are times where a bit of revision could go fine but some heavy duty studying right before the exam is just going to do more harm than good. There comes a time where either I know it or I never will. That's when I stop studying.

I never used to take books to exam hall.I use to keep myself calm and never used to discuss with my friends about the exam and questions before the start of the exam.
I used to keep thinking of something which relaxes my mind.Just go into exam hall and after taking the question paper and start writing.
last minute revisions and studies will raise your tensions if you find to see any important question you ignored.that will spoil everything.
Sleep well in the night before exam and read well all the other days on the academic year.
Good luck

I'm a student and i don't really believe in last moment preparations. I do, however believe in pulling all-nighters before the exams. So I usually just leave everything for the night before the exam. then pull an all-nighter, and then when I'm in the hall i'd just leave it all to luck.

well i do not believe in last moment preparations, just a basic look at the key points or formula is more than enough if not satisfied but relaxation helps a little more than that. cheer with your friends and be cool and confident..this is the key to rock the exams....
