Yeah, I know how you're feeling. You should blog about it.

Who cares about studying. When you're old do you think you're going to look back and think "only if I studied on that French exam.." No, you're going to be thinking "I used to be C+ in 2v2 on Iccup, I was so badass."

This is exactly how i studied for every exam last semester, played poker or sc until 1 am or so then study until the exam started in the morning. Funny thing is, i ended up doing well in every class :D i think we're on to something here!

hmm..

Study a lot. Use flash cards to memorise vocabulary.

Don't sleep much, use the 10 hours to study. Just take a 20 minute nap or 2 and have a caffeine drink or energy drink just before entering the exam.

Then afterwards come home and sleep for 12 hours
Problem solved.

Honestly, language exams are the ones you need to study least for. I didn't study for any of my language exams back when I took them as there was no specific thing to learn. You just have a broad understanding of the language or you don't. They're not going to ask specific translations (at least that was the case for me), but will give you a story or w/e in French and asks you questions about it.

Wouldn't worry too much, just get some good sleep. Grabbing a book and memorizing words is not going to help you one bit at this point, having a rested brain will though.
I think esports is pretty nice.

Sarkozy can't even speak proper French:

However, you need to learn some study habits.

just paper note between your legs. With the answers on it.
Easy.

I've never studied in my life (Whenever i do i get like very bad grades) and i always get good grades, Other than maths. But i suppose you cant be good at everything.
I consider The internet a big part of my study, It teaches all in one.
Maths, English, sometimes even dutch. All else is done by paying attention to the explainations.

Good thing its Saturday eh. You still have plenty of time.

^I've asked for temp bans a few times to help me study. It's helped somewhat, since I love posting on TL, and not posting makes browsing worse (but still possible). A temp IP ban would be more viable, but not completely foolproof.

I'm not good with self accountability, but one of my smart friends says that a good way of being focused is to study with music.

I have the same habits as you, but I don't think it hinders me at all. Granted, I don't start at 2am, but I start at about 8pm. I study for about half an hour -> take a break -> repeat until I feel that I've covered enough material. This usually lasts until midnight, at which point I take a shower and just lay on my bed watching videos on my laptop.

I personally cannot focus on studying when listening to music. I start focusing on my music rather than my studying.

Around my finals period, I realized that my Chinese 306 final was in 5 hours (that morning at 9am) and not in 29 hours (on the day after, Wednesday). I hadn't slept or studied yet. I managed to study the majority of what I needed to know and pull off a good grade anyway in 5 hours instead of the 12 leisurely ones I had planned on. It's entirely possible, just requires some motivation -_-

Have you ever taken a French exam?

Sure, with a test of vocabulary you can write down the words you needed to learn. An exam isn't a long list of word translations though, it's a test of comprehension. You get a dictionary so there's isn't a need to hide notes. Rather your skill in interpreting questions, finding answers, reasoning and established vocubulary are put to the test. When you're asked to read three pages of French text and answer questions about it, you aren't going to have the time to look up every word. You'll have to combine the established knowledge you've acquired over the years with looking up key words in your dictionary to properly answer the questions. Which is why I suggested a good night sleep would be better than a night learning random french words. Good reasoning and fast dictionary usage are much more valuable and those are greatly dependant on being well rested.

This is just my experience with exams though, it could be possible other countries ask you to just translate some words, but I doubt it. Since exams are the same across the country they're mostly multiple choice as to ease the correction of the exams and to make it more "fair".

Like I tell my idiot friend in Vancouver who's taking french:

Je Tu Il/Elle Nous Vous Ils/Elles is all you need to know. Everything else is just gravy.

It's silly, but if you think of French that way its easier. Or I've found it anyway after struggling with french for 12 years. Picture your Present/PC/IMP/Future as a basic cake, then everything else is frosting. Besides, you can get 90% of french correct with just those 4 verb tenses.

Hahaha, dude French is an entire language. A paper hidden under the desk or some scribbles on your palm aren't going to save you.

French is just too hard for its own sake. I can understand it but i cant speak it. Its full of exceptions and rules that change from verb to verb. I find English much more direct and Spanish much more simpler in terms of conjugation.
