I promised that this exam session I will try to follow not only my experiences but also the experiences of the other suffering students in the library. So, here is a perfect example.
A hope-high-score girl is sitting next to me. She is doing something biological/food industry connected. She has done an essay in the module (which generally means that some of the material she has already thoroughly researched). It is a known fact that to get above 70% one needs to show knowledge not included in the lectures, or in other words, do some research and find cool examples. So at 4 to 23:00 the hope-high-score girl is sitting in the library searching for extra information. Instead of leaving to go home (she also lives far away) she will stay in the library. By know (she has studied all day) she has dark circles under her eyes and her voice is all grumpy. Still, she is not giving up, she will do whatever she can to get a higher score on the exam.
The only question that keeps whirling in my mind is, unless the exam is tomorrow: Why continue working inefficiently all night instead of just go home and sleep? It is obvious why if the exam is tomorrow, it is silly if the exam is in several days. My exam is on Monday, so tired after almost a full day (12 hrs) revision, I need to get home get some sleep and come here fresh, at 8:00, again! For me this is the best strategy!
