Cramming

Cramming is useful in emergencies;
it is not good for long term learning.

See Emergency test preparation
for an alternative, structured approach to cramming

Strategies for cramming include:

• Preview material
  to be covered
  
• Be selective:
  skim chapters for main points
  
• Concentrate on reviewing
  and learning main points
  
• Don't read information
  you won't have time to review

Test taking strategies:

Mastering one test | General test preparation | Anticipating test content |
Review tools for tests | Overcoming test anxiety | Organizing for test taking | Cramming | Emergency test preparation
