there's been studies that show if you study for something before taking a nap or going to bed for the night, you will be more likely to remember it. it has something to do with your brain reenacting the last thing you were doing before you went to sleep, while you sleep.
i definitely used this to my advantage in college, give it a try. and next time start studying weeks in advance, i tell you this as a procrastinator so i understand..but wow, it really helps

Had one of those last week. It was a thermo lab report. Complete and utter bullshit. Turned it in late, but still turned it in. They picked finals right after Thanksgiving break; right after my trip to California to see my mother for the holidays. Did not have a remote second to work on paper.
So what do you got planned during winter break?
I will indulge and beat off without worrying about tests to study for. Should be glorious.
Nope, no girlfriend.

That said, 2 days is plenty of time to read a couple chapters and change a fail to a pass. 2 days and you can jerk off to your hearts content- and feel even better about it knowing you gave school your best(ish) shot.
I couldn't disagree more. When I was in university I would routinely skip 6+ weeks of class and learn the entire thing in 1-2 days. My grades were usually in the 70-80% range.
Also OP, a 20% final is an absolute joke. When you have a 65% final and you don't know anything then you can be a little worried.

Yes. That's exactly what student tutors need... Some slacker demanding someone teach him an entire semester in two days. Not like the tutors have their own exams to worry about.

I literally never had a final under 50% .
The majority of my classes were 4 x 5% quizzes, 30% midterm, 50% final.

Holy Jesus!
I've never had a final anywhere near 50%. Highest was probably around 30% for a lab. That was my bio tech lab.
What classes you be taking if you don't mind me asking?

Look, I am one of the student tutors. We get paid. It's our job. We can stick up for ourselves. If the dude needs help, he needs help. I told him to take specific material he needs help with. I work with individuals like the OP all day long during finals season, if it's not him it's someone else.

Some of my classes at McGill were 100% finals. I think it is more common in Canada.

I actually really liked that format. It allowed me to do basically nothing until a day or two before exams because I almost never got marked on assignments. I would essentially never go to class, study half a day for a quiz, one day for a midterm, and two days for an exam. By the end of 4th year I had that shit down - I was getting 80s doing virtually no work.

I'm pretty smart but I wouldn't say genius level or anything. Most classes follow somewhat of a formula, you just have to know how to solve a few specific types of problems. When I studied I would study really fucking hard. I consider a day of studying to be 12-18 hours.
