I'm not going to say what for test it is, but it is directly related with ASVAB testing and SAT testing. Math knowledge and arithmetic, and some verbal skills.
The test is in 7 days and I have studying about an hour a day the past 2 weeks, the past 3 days I have been study on an average of 5 hours a day. And going to sleep doing math problems in my head. I am socially voided at the moment too. I don't even answer my cell phone. I eat, sleep, fwap thinking mathematics. De-realization sets in somtimes. I drink green tea almost 24/7. I plan on doing this the next 7 days leading up to this test.
I am running and doing BW exercises also during the week, However I am not leaving the inside of my head. I miss people already but I cannot be side tracked.
I am now going to be studying up to 6-8 hours a day with breaks on the hour for sherdog posting and a phone call maybe, and some tv leading up till tuesday.
Has anyone done anything like this before when preparing for a test or important exam?
Am I mentally in danger? Any tips? Have you?

Doing a supplemental exam once (course I failed - Digital Signal Processing) I studied 7 hours a day for 5 months, the last two weeks I was studying upwards of 12 hours a day - thankfully it was my last class I needed to get my degree.
Since I majored in Electrical Engineering I studied a lot for most of my exams, but never for one like this.
Even with all the studying and basically knowing the material inside and out I still only got a B- on the exam, the prof was that much of an asshole and generally failed 70% of his class each time, with the majority of marks being in the D's. The supplemental exam was worth 100% of your grade and was MUCH harder than his general exams, but it got me out of having to wait an extra 6 months to graduate.
