What's the longest you have been up?

I disagree. Because if you truly just don't know the information how will you do any better? What you are implying is if you have been studying two days before. I was in a bad situation in terms of finals, so if I slept I would have done worst because I simply did not know enough of the material.

IMO you probably either know it or you don't. I cram for a few hours before my exam, and that's normally enough for me to be reminded me of the information. I mean, different strokes for different folks. I rarely, if ever, take notes. If I go to class and listen, I normally retain information. If my assignment is reading a text book and things arent covered in class, I'm screwed. A) I don't retain information from books well at all. B) Reading textbooks is boring.

Like, I sleep at least 6ish hours before finals. For papers/projects Ive been up longer since there's a deliverable due at X time.
