I'd recommend, going to bed at a usual time/or a bit earlier and then waking up earlier and doing revision before the exam.

Nah, they knacker you out. Tried it once, then drank RedBull in the morning. I was energetic for the first few questions of my exam, then my strength just dipped, couldn't muster any mental strength to tackle the harder questions.
Thats the Red Bull, it gives a high and then a low. What the OP needs to do is to do an all nighter, and then got to sleep about 50 mins from when you would normally wake up in the morning. Wake up as normal, because your brain hasn't gone into a deep sleep, you won't feel so tired and will feel energised for your exam. I did it for my Biology exam, worked great. Though I know people who just cannot revise during the night, I prefer the night to day though.

Yeah, but I drank the RedBull because I was already knackered from my all nighter. I doubt I would have fared any better had I just waltzed into the exam knackered and sleepy.
dont do it, you will be far too tired come the actual exam
no i wouldn't do it, unless your used to all nighters, you will only fail to concentrate during your exam. just go to bed, get up early and cram.. thats what i did this morning. Bed at 10. Up and 6.30, exam was at half one, so a good solid 5 hours revision 
realllly helped!!
realllly helped!!It depends....personally I prefer to have a good night's sleep before the exam, not necessarily the full 8h but at least 5. Anything you learn before you go to bed usually sticks though! Working right up to the exam has never worked for me, I found myself way too tired during the exam having spent all this energy on last minute cramming.
i think im going to go to bed in the next hour and set my alarm for 5am, so i can cram for 2hrs 30! is that reasonable? cos im still getting 7 hours then.
No they don't work at all, unless you want to crash in the exam.
However what you can do is cram until 2am.
Sleep until 5am, and continue until you have to leave the house.
You won't feel ridiculously tired until the afternoon, or night.

they always work for me, but it depends on the subject.
if its like ict which only requires regurgitating answers from previous mark schemes, it works. (5pm - 12am~10am-12pm)
If its psychology when vasts amount of information needs to be understood and written, no chance.
I learned that revising and then sleeping on it, actually helps you (well it does for me) retain the information. You may not be able to say it out the next morning, but you'll be able to write it.

It can work sometimes, but you might feel tired for the last few questions of the exam. I've done it a few times and I would say that if you can avoid it then don't do it, it's very tiring.
