Personally, I overload during exam period, often going to bed at 2-3 in the morning sometimes 4 and waking up by 8 to be in lessons for help and repeat. it's a vicious cycle but thankfully only temporary but a lot of my friends always comment on how they would never be able to survive on such little sleep.
The issue I had was last year I knew I was ****ed, so it was either do the work or let decent grades slip through my fingers. Not everyone is so ill prepared, of course.
But how much sleep do you get before exam day or even during exam season?

It depends. I normally sleep an extra hour before an exam day so around 9 hours of sleep but I have friends who sleep for 6 hours and are not tired in the morning.

I've noticed that if you fight the tiredness for just an hour, you find the energy to soldier on but the tiredness only gets stronger and stronger

Generally around exam time I go to sleep at about 8:00 in the evening ish, aim to wake up at 4:00 (so I get a nice 8 hours of sleep) and then I can do some quick early morning revision, just quickly go over my notebooks, maybe do a quick past paper (I have taken to doing past papers while walking to school, I can get most in under 20 minutes now).

Physics, chemistry and biology unit 1s (granted the unit 2s do take a bit longer), C1, C2 and M1. Generally my technique in exams is to rush through the paper as quick as possible (so I know that I am not going to suddenly run out of time half way through a question) to a relatively good standard, then go over it finely to ensure I picked up as many marks as possible.

I normally don't wake up til i really HAVE to, sometimes oversleeping and forcing my mum to take me to school. How do you manage to wake up so early with such little sleep?

I do generally undersleep quite a bit though, not the best sleeper but not quite an insomniac either... So I'm sort of used to it.

Ahh I see. I personally take my time in biology because I got a mediocre grade last year in AS when I kept misunderstanding the question. I'm a bit better at it now but it does require me to slow down. Do you now find your technique suffers a little as a result?
