Jessica：怡茹。　　　　　1　　　　　
YR: 这几天又复习又考试，累得我眼睛都快睁不开啦！昨天晚上，我复习了一个通宵啊！I drove a night car!
Jessica: You drove a night car?
YR: 对啊! 我开了一宿夜车! 难道不是这么说的？
Jessica: 哈哈。　　　　　2　　　　　
YR: 哦，整宿学习工作不睡觉，就是 pull an all-nighter. 唉! 都怪我平时没好好复习，期末考试前只能临时抱佛脚。
Jessica: You're not alone, Yiru! 　　　　　3　　　　　
YR: C-r-a-m, cram, 是仓促备考的意思，所以 a cram session 就是考前的突击复习。正说呢……　　　　　4　　　　　
Jessica: Take it easy, Yiru. 　　　　　5　　　　　
YR: Open-book test? 哦，你是说开卷考试吧？没错，这门是开卷，可老师对开卷考试的答案要求更高。我可不想考砸了。
Jessica: 　　　　　6　　　　　
YR: 你说“bomb"--那不是轰炸的意思么？我猜这就是说没考好，对么？
Jessica: Exactly.
YR: 那要是不及格，挂科了，怎么说呢？
Jessica: Then you can use the verb "flunk", f-l-u-n-k, flunk. 　　　　　7　　　　　
YR: 　　　　　8　　　　　
Jessica: Before you go, tell me what you've learned today.
YR: 第一，开夜车，通宵学习工作，叫 pull an all-nighter; 考试前的突击复习叫 cram session;
第二，开卷考试是 open-book test;
第三，考试考砸了用动词 bomb, 不及格则用 flunk!

Why do you look so tired?
You should use the phrase "pull an all-nighter". It means you spend the whole night studying or working to meet a deadline.
A lot of college students pull all-nighters for exams. You can also use the phrase "cram session". It means an intense period of study before a critical exam.
My study group will have a cram session this afternoon for tomorrow's exam. Hopefully we can get everything done before midnight so that I don't have to pull an all-nighter again.
Isn't your exam tomorrow an open-book test?
You won't bomb it. You're a smart girl.
It means you fail to pass an exam.
I don't want to flunk my exam, so I gotta go.Jessica：怡茹。Why do you look so tired?
