Like the topic says...I'm only asking because I've got an exam in about 4 hours and I've pulled an all-nighter just now...

20 hours with a half hour break for dinner so far...

My record is 32 hours for my Physics Board exam in 12th though...

How about you guys?

Not for studies, but I have stayed awake for 36 hours (morning 8am to next night 12midnight 8am-8am + 8am-8pm + 8pm-00:00)... for submissions. (Not writing continuously though... I had college, dinner, lunch, TV, PC many things... but was awake :-D)

Well...I'm only studying that much because I had an exam today, and I didn't study properly in advance like I was supposed to. The longest I've gone without sleep is like...3 days with a total of almost 6-8 hours of sleep during my 12th standard board exams.

Otherwise, hell will freeze over before you see me studying...8)

So what was your score in 12th after studying so much?

79% overall...but you have to understand two things...

First, I did ISC in twelfth, not CBSE or SSLC Karnataka...and in my experience, ISC is the hardest 12th standard board exam there is.

Second...I got 29% overall in my pre-boards...

For studying, hardly an hour(that to before exam).............but back in 2004, when playstations were new craze, I and my friend lend PS2 for Rs.150/- for 12hrs with 20 Game titles, for 5 times continuously(12x5=60hours) ...........and none of us slept for that time. The only thing we did was eating and going to bathroom and nothing else but playing games....... It was only when he's parents came back home from some trip and we had to stop. :(......

Two kind of study :

1. concentrate, concentrate, really hard, maybe max of 30 min, goes back to point no.2 *happy*

2. Just pretend to study and dream of something else looking at the book, aahhh that's what i do , can go upto 3-4hrs :D goes back to point no.1 *sad*

i study for 10 mins and get 10 marks in the test , m most friends study for ~1/2 hr and get 9-8 marks .
moral , when studing concentrate every second u dont need to study all day long with books , 1 hr is enough for that

You can use immidiate flush style also , that means study at the last hour and flush it immidiately and the exam and forget it!

i do that when there is no time to study

@max_demon: That strategy might work for a regular exam, but when its a final exam or something like what I had with portions of 800 pages per subject, just physically going through all that stuff takes hours and hours...forget studying it hard while concentrating...

better to ask
How long have u gone without sleep in front of ur computer?
i am sure gamers like me will have much to say about this.

Studying ->20hrs max
Gaming -> 60+ hrs. long ago had a major Lan party with some friends :)
it was all because of Fifa, quake and counter strike
