Anything between 6 and 8 or so hours is optimal. Sleeping less or more than that will negatively affect your ability to concentrate during the exam. Last minute revision shouldn't leave you feeling drained as it will negatively affect you too, however, lightly browsing over some notes/reminders is fine.

7 hours sleep minimum.

Sleeping less doesn't mean you're revising more. It just means that you can't handle your time properly.

Hey,

I think 4.5 - hours was good enough for me. I revised till 9, slept at 11. Woke up at 4 am n revised some more then got ready and gave my exam. Went well. But remember sleep is important and cramming never ever helps, even if u think it does :P

Good luck!

At least 7 hours.

After about 10 o'clock, sleeping will become more beneficial than revising.

Old thread but heres my idea: i got ADDE at AS level due to procrastination and not revising and i need ABB at least for uni. My plan would be as follows:

12am- 7am would be my new 'day' i will split it up with revising, breaks, walking the dog once maybe and eating. At 7.30 i would then get ready and go to school ( its easter now so this would be free time. Then when i get back from school about 3pm (sometimes 1pm and 4pm) i will sleep untill 11.30/12 and repeat. I know this idea sounds crazy but any thoughts and ideas wouldbe appreciated. Maybe i could try it and see how muchi concentrate? Would be useful in exams in may/june as i would revise all night for exams then all the way until the exam. I have 8 A level exams (4 retakes) btw
