But you DO have time to study something. NO ONE has time to study EVERYTHING in the week before an exam. So, if one wants to do well on an exam, one studies throughout the term, and reviews it all in the week before the exam. And, if one hasn't studied throughout the term, one breaks down the studying in the week before the exam and does as much of it as one can without going nuts.
You're better off doing most of the studying NOW, and not the night before, because you'll remember it better. Over on Students -- where this thread belongs and will likely be moved -- I will post some suggestions for you for studying.

> I can't get studying! I'm getting desperate.OK, so, why not? Probably because instead of looking at what's in front of you, you're running over all the "I can't do this" "I have to make myself sick" ideas. So, start off by saying, "OK, Deneb, I left this to the last minute, and there's nothing I can do about that now. I can't go back in time to fix it, so I won't worry about that -- I'll just do what I can." And then DO IT.
See, until Mr Peabody shows up with the Way Back Machine, we can't undo our earlier decisions. We just have to live with the consequences of those choices we've made. Learning that will make a big difference in your life, Deneb. Practice it here.
