Successful Students

9.  . . .don’t crane for exams. Successful students know divided periods of study are more effective cram sessions, and they practice it.

If there is one thing skills specialist agree, last ditch efforts know as cramming. You’ll learn more, remember more, and earn a higher grade by studying in four, one hour a night sessions for Friday’s exam than studying in four hours a night sessions for Friday’s exam than studying for four hours straight on. Thursday night. Short, concentrated preparatory efforts are more efficient and rewarding than wasteful inattentive, last moment marathons. Yet, so many students fail to learn this lesson and end up repeating it over and over again until it become a wasteful habit. Not too clever, huh?

When you cram, you are taking the shortcut, you feel rather rotten knowing that you could have done better but didn't  shortcuts cut you short. You can’t plant watermelon seeds and harvest fresh watermelons the next day. Plus cramming for a test or project doesn’t help you academically, so why even do it. Plan ahead, prepare ahead. Give yourself plenty of days and weeks to prepare for upcoming accountability opportunities.
