That's not quite accurate. Sleep helps you forget the useless stuff during rem cycles and some useful stuff too that you did not focus very much on. So, it helps you in regurgitating more of the useful, relevant and practiced stuff on tests without making as many mistakes about it. But yeah, for simplicity's sake, get a good jog, do some pushups, shower with a nice smelling soap and sleep well before your test. You will be less distracted and more energetic for your test
You say it's not accurate, then describe exactly why it's accurate. Studying and then going to bed helps the brain recall what you've studied through memory consolidation. This is true even without exercise or smelly soaps.
Smell helps with memory retention and recall. Exercise too produces endorphins, which not only improves your quality of sleep, but also lends several other benefits in focus, initiative and memory
With regards to cognitive sciences, it is prudent that we use correct description of method & logic. Sleep is a process that deducts or suppresses information, information we deem unnecessary or practiced poorly, such as more synapses are broken than formed. If you wanted more complete description of episodes gone through day, do that asap, before sleep, whereas if you wanted concise or sensible organization of information, sleep on it. Like jot down lecture notes, witness statements with haste
And? Do you think this explains why you think my original statement is "not quite accurate"? All you're doing is adding context to why my statement is accurate, not explaining why it isn't. If you're going to call me out as being wrong, you could at least clearly state why.
In layman's terms, there is nothing wildly wrong with what you have said. It is sufficient and good advice for most people. However, in the absolute sense, sleep helps you retain less, not more information as was your original statement. That is not a bad thing, its more efficient this way and if we retained all information, we would drive ourselves crazy. Just trying to lend perspective from cognitive behavioural sciences is all. Lets move onto other pursuits now

No study beers?!?!

"everybody knows if you study while drinking you won't remember anything"
this is utter nonsense in my experience, though I stay under a drink an hour for the most part.

Study high. Take the test high. Get high scores. Don't overcomplicate things.

Das boot!

But also, if you study and get a good night's sleep, you retain more of the information. No drugs required.

Assuming you don't need drugs for a good night's sleep

Good night's sleep‽ what's that fantastical thing?

None of which makes my statement "not quite accurate". Let's try this. What specifically about my original statement is not accurate?
