This is the first time I've heard of that. It would have been really nice on my Fields and Waves midterm. Highest was 96, lowest was 1.
As for chem, I didn't think it was that hard. Actually, I thought it was really easy. The extent of my studying was showing up to class every day (sometimes sleeping through part of it) and doing the labs (which were required anyway). I made it out with a B.
All of my problems stem from math, I don't have any problems learning concepts though. I didn't have any problems with chem, thermodynamics, materials, or digital design. However, I barely scrape by in math classes, and have a lot of trouble with heavily math based classes (i.e. electromagnetics, physics, signal analysis).
As for studying... none of you have anything on what I just pulled. I started studying for digital design on thursday night. I got a full night's sleep and got back to it on Friday morning. I went until midnight. The test was on Saturday morning and ended around noon. I took the rest of Saturday off. Starting Sunday at around 9am, I started studying for Linear Systems. I went until 10:30pm. I couldn't find anywhere to sleep, so I had to go home to take a nap. I woke up at 3:30am and came back to school. I studied until 7, when I decided to check if the professor was in his office. I asked him some questions, then went back to studying. I took a 1 hour nap right before the test. The test ended at noon. I went home, ate lunch and took a break. I took a 3 hour nap. Now, I'm back at school (I'm eating dinner/reading CD). I need to work on Network Analysis now, test on Wednesday. My friends want to spend all day on it tomorrow, so I think I'll only go until 10ish, so I can recover and start a new sleepless study session. SLEEP IS FOR THE WEEK!!11one!
