| I'm going to have to disagree with everyone that opposes cram-learning. It is really a last-resort option. A lot of us haven't had the opportunity to learn all the material in a course or semester's worth of time, so cram-learning is really the only way. I did this in APUSH because we honestly did not cover about 80 years of history needed to be successful on the exam. I read the entire PR book the night before, and I felt much more confident after that...actually learning along the way. For AP Psych, cram-reviewing worked only because I was very confident with the material before going into study/review mode. But I just wanted to make the point that neither is better or worse, it just depends on your situation, though it is optimal to learn the material correctly the first time and not have to worry about studying at all.
@meili: If this was your first time pulling and all-nighter and attempting to compensate with an energy drink, then you're bound to have negative after-effect. It takes a while to get used to it. Sometimes it still feels horrible having that crap go through your system, though the little burst is sometimes worth it. |
