Revising from now to the chemistry exam for the next 12 hours will be such a mission, your tiredness will distract you. You may get rly tired in the middle of the exam and being tired makes you more irritable and stressed while revising (well it does for me anyways). You should get some sleep and focus on de-stressing bc that would probably be more beneficial

No.

No.

No.

Go to bed + wake up early. - That's what I'm doing. You don't want all your hard work to go to waste. Just switch off your phone + even if you don't get any proper sleep then lying down, resting in bed helps a lot with exhaustion too + kindaa feels the same.

I have AS chem tomorrow afternoon too
Just sleep man turn everything off and let yourself drift off
Set 100 alarms if you need to and write down what you are going to revise when you wake up at 6am so you know timing is no problem and it'll stop your brain from freaking out.

It'll be fine.

All Chemistry exams for all exam boards are at the same time and day.

Tbh, your probably going to have a lot of people tell you not to do an all nighter and to revise a little and then go to bed, my advice, if you think you can do it, then okay, but get some sleep at the very least, even 3 hours, at least thats one sleep cycle, if you've not use to all nighters for exams though and are usually more prepared and stuff, maybe its not the best idea?
Is it AQA Chem and is it Unit 1 or 2?

No do nottttt do that
Nope
No all nighters
You will actually compromise your health, fall asleep in the exam, and prob end up losing a lot more marks on silly mistakes than you normally would.

Never a good idea.
Sleep and wake up in 2-3 hours if you really need to.

It's not an all nighter I will sleep at 3am and wake up at 8am. I haven't revised any content. So in a sense I need to do this. If OP has revised a lot and feels good then yeah go ahead and sleep. But if you know you're screwed then I guess it's better to sacrifice a bit of sleep. I will feel happier knowing that I have learnt new content.

I've done well with 5hrs, but I wouldn't say it's a good idea. Better to get more if you can. But never lose out on sleep for the sake of revising, only if it's inevitable and you're in bed nervous.
