Default Cramming tips (This has probs come up before)

hey all,
im 16 (i know, not a student and ur age)and have exams in about 8 subjects in just less than two weeks. im from uk so im not sure what the equivalent exams are in US at 16.

anyways, what are ur best cramming tips?
is it better to work all night or get some sleep etc?

subjects are: history (cold war), geography, sciences, maths (around 18 yo level), and english literature (usual books)

Thanks a lot, much appreciated.

I highly recommend Dexedrine or the like.

For my midterms last semester, I stayed up for 72 hours straight in a flurry of productivity unparalleled at any other point in my life. The professor for my last exam mentioned that I looked strung-out, but I got an A, so [censored] him if he can't take a joke.

My two cents, your mileage may vary.

I really can't believe how many students are taking drugs to help them study.

I know it's unhealthy and probably the "wrong thing to do," but understand that I am generally not a very productive person. All my life, I just kind of cruised along, relying on natural ability instead of a sound work ethic. Unfortunately, said work ethic never developed. Dexedrine makes me like (productive)^3.

Legitimate answer to OP's question.

I would: Get up every morning at 8, read 2p2 have breakfast etc until 9. Work from 9am until 10pm. Play Playstation or whatever until 12. Go to sleep, rinse, repeat.
I dont know your situation but basically if you work hard at revising over the next two weeks you will do fine. You dont need to be a genius to get As and Bs at GSCE. i certainly wasnt. dont worry

Umm you're asking cramming questions for something that is two weeks away? This thread should have been made 20 mins. before your exams. That would have been balla.
