Hi all, I have another poll for those who got an overall score of 75%+, how many hours of sleep did you get the night before your test?

Pulled an all nighter

I woke up at 5:30AM the day before, went to the gym to exhaust myself even more, and was out cold by 9PM. I think I might've woken up once ~3AM for a few minutes, but then fell asleep until just after 6.

I went to "bed" by 8pm with the intention to wake up at 5am. I basically slept in 30 minute increments later in the night...maybe 4.5 hours total.

Were you studying til the end? Or were you just unable to sleep? I couldn't make myself seriously study the day before.

 

[Sourgrapesss]

Dude I'm kidding. Please don't stay up all night

I didn't lol. And...thanks for clearing that up. I'm sure there are special people out there who did stay up all night, furiously tearing through flashcards.

I plan to take melatonin every night a week before my test. That way I'm not staying up all night stressing out.

Noisy hotel. Slept not at all. Maybe 1-2 hours, felt horrible...but, got my coffee, made peace with it and took the exam.

I'm so glad the MCAT will be at my college so I don't have to deal with getting a hotel room. Hope you get the score you wanted!

Well, I'm taking it in three days and this week I have been purposefully getting up early and to bed early. Hopefully it will be enough!

Benadryl at 8pm helps a little too

So... How did someone get more than 11 hours?!

 

[panda16]

4-5. I never sleep a ton before big tests for whatever reason.

Edit: 90-100 overall percentile

 

[Lannister]

I got 88-98 and slept approximately 7 hours the night before. Would've been more but I was watching the Hawks game and they were losing so I was really pissed off and it kept me awake for awhile.

 

[Glazedonutlove]

90-100
5 hours bc I woke up at 4 and couldn't go back to sleep

 

[Rishikish]

It seems the norm is 6-8 hours, then you have the weird outliers. Who the hell sleeps for 11+ hours and <1 hour, respectively?
