Best way to stay awake?

Ok, I've been up for about 32 hours, and I need to stay awake 12 more hours. SAT IIs are tommorow, and I didn't study last month, so about 70% of those 32 hours went to studying. I need at least 8 more hours of studying to ensure a perfect score. What are the best ways to stay awake??????? I feel sleepy already.


The longest I have stayed awake is 72 hours, but that was watching TV......
 
loud music?

how are you going to insure a perfect score? sounds to me like you are gonna crash and burn

you need sleep and food...dork. 😛
 
it doesnt get bad until you start day dreamign about fluffy pillows and warm soft beds...

oh and set a few alarm clocks so you wake up on time for the test.
 
Try holding your breath. Your body thinks you're suffocating and goes "HOLY SH!T I NEED TO BE AWAKE FOR THIS TO NOT DIE!!!!" and you wake up.

Don't worry, I got food covered. I'm basically eating one hersy's bar ever hour with coffe. Still isn't helping much though.

Nice suggestion, back to studying.

EDIT: bad one. I might pass out and miss out on my studying time.

You're supposed to start breathing again before you pass out! 😎

If you are too tired you are not going to perform well. My suggestion...use those last 8 hours to SLEEP.

The last time I did that, I got below 700.......
 
Here's one suggestion... buy a small tube of wasabi and put a tiny amount in your mouth whenever you get sleepy. It sure works in keeping me up on long sleep deprived drives.

If you haven't learned it yet, you aren't going to. You'll do better on the test if you're well rested than if your body is fighting for down time.

It is impossible to pass out by holding one's breath.
