If your parents would block you out for doing bad on an exam, they are bad parents. Therefore, forget about them if they get angry. Just be confident and do your best. Forget those 200 pages and sleep.

If your parents are angry at you because you procrastinated badly, then it's your fault and hopefully you learned a lesson.

Study as much as possible before the test starts, but make sure you get enough sleep before you take your exam.

Good luck, and don't psych yourself out (any more than you already have)

Get a real amount of sleep. Not 3 hours. Your body needs several REM cycles in a row.

Yea if you don't sleep you are fucked. I once couldn't think during an exam due to lack of sleep. It was kind of bad. :D

I pulled a 60-hour marathon (four 30-minute naps on the two round-trips on the subway for a total of 2 hours of "sleep") in my third year, I know how it feels x_x I pulled the first all-nighter for a huge bridge project that turned out horrible, the second one for an impossible exam, and then foolishly stayed near campus for epic drinking. I somehow made it home alive with the help of a friend.

Needless to say, I flunked both the project and the exam hahaha. Hope your case turns out better, I hope you make it through!

Who reads the whole textbook? You are using your time so poorly. Good luck.

Well I guess you don't have anyone to blame but yourself.

Thanks to all who gave me advice, I just slept for ~8 hours and although I still feel shitty, it's light years better than last night.

I'm in my 4th year and it's a deferred corp. finance exam. 11 hours to go... Wish me luck, I'm going to need it.

4th year UW Mechanical Engineering here.

I've done my fair share of procrastinating, regretting it, and failing courses, but your anxiety will be your worst enemy. Sleep is paramount, so it's good that you at least have that. Reading regularly is also paramount. In my previous term I completed all my required readings and I still almost failed some courses.

Next time add reading to your daily schedule so that it is not left to the last minute. Exam studying should be review and practice problems, not learning.

For now though, put that out of your mind because dwelling on what you didn't do won't help you. Think of what you already know and have learned and apply at least that in your exam.

Good luck.

Good man. Study hard for your last few hours, take at least 30 minutes or so before your exam to calm down and get a bite of something good to eat(fruit salad is amazing) while doing your best not to think about your test. You can do this.

your study habits are terrible. Get some sleep, stop reading every page of your textbook, be effient and learn how to read summaries/speed read and start showing up to class so you don't have to do that in the future.

SLEEP! Its the most important thing. If you don't sleep, you will forget the shit you know.

If you sleep, you will also more easily be able to identify the things you don't know and move on to the next question.
