According to Mr. Webster, Cramming is to
prepare hastily or intensively for an upcoming/imminent examination. It is a last minute study especially for an
examination. Why do most of us students
cram? What are the possible tips to avoid cramming?
What!
The exam is next week already? This is a common utterance of students whenever an
examination is nearing. They tend to panic because they aren’t prepared for
this. We are fund of reviewing just a
day before the exam and even hours and minutes before the test. This is due to our laziness to scan our notes
as early as possible. Or having an advance reading even it is not yet time for
tests.
Cramming
can cause forgetfulness according to some research. Thus to avoid being
forgetful, we should also avoid cramming for examinations. How? Here are some
tips to follow. If possible, start to review your notes weeks before the
scheduled exam. Another is, scanning notes daily or every night after each
lesson. Be prepared as the boy’s scout of the Philippine’s motto is. Secondly,
do not try to memorize everything. Analyze your topic; don’t just put anything
in mind without understanding what it means. Another tip is, make a reviewer or
an outline of all the previous lessons that are needed to be bear in mind. If
you have some clarifications, look for some books related to your problem or
the book used as a reference by the teacher. Or if you are lazy to scan books,
use the internet for easy outcome.
Avoid cramming! Review earlier
to be sure of passing examinations and to avoid mental blockage.
